Answer:

Anthracite: The highest rank of coal. This coal is hard, brittle, and black lustrous. It is often referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile matter. It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest energy density of all types of coal and is the highest ranking of coals.

Explanation: There are four ranks of coal

Coal rank measures the carbon content which is in correlation with calorific value and metamorphic grade. It has a very high carbon (over 90%) and low volatile content (below 5%)1.

Gas is heated from 480. K to 750. K and the pressure is kept constant, what final volume would result if the original volume was

attashe74 [19]

Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas.
It states that at constant pressure volume is directly proportional to temperature
Therefore
V/ T = k
Where V - volume T - temperature in kelvin and k - constant
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
Substituting the values in the equation
267 L/ 480 K = V / 750 K
V = 417 L
Final volume is 417 L
