how to conserve coal & petroleum

. Coke is an important reducing agent is another by-product containing 98% carbon. Petroleum is often referred to as liquid gold, due to its importance as a fuel in transportation (Petrol, Diesel, kerosene, gas oil, fuel oil) and as a source of over hundred and fifty important petrochemicals used i..

The main constituents of coal are- carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and small amounts of sulphur and nitrogen. Coal is obtained by mining and occurs deep inside the Earth. It is now believed that the changes in the Earth's crust might have buried the prehistoric forests under the crust..

Coal is formed in nature by the 'carbonisation' of wood. Conversion of wood to coal under the influence of high temperature, high pressure, and in the absence of air is termed carbonisation. Amongst coal varieties, anthracite is the purest form. It contains about ..

Coal varies in quality according to the amount of pressure and heat to which it is subjected to during its formation. Coal consists largely of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and a small amount of sulphur. It comes in 3 form..

Law of Conservation of Energy - Let us see what is actually taking place in the following examples: Steam engine: The coal burns. Heat due to the combustion of coal converts water into steam. The expansive force exerted by the steam on the piston of the engine moves th..

Fossil fuels are the major source of energy on Earth. With the development of technology, the worlds consumption of the concentrated sources of energy like coal, petroleum and natural gas and uranium has increased. Very slow physical and chemical processes spread over many thousand ..
