The specific gravity of coal depends mainly on its ______________ content?
Correct answer: A. Ash
- A. Ash
- B. Volatile matter
- C. Carbon
- D. Moisture
Explanation
Ash consists mainly of dense inorganic mineral matter, so even a modest ash content raises coal's specific gravity markedly. Moisture affects measured mass, but ash is the principal compositional influence.
