The specific gravity of coal depends mainly on its ______________ content?

Correct answer: C. Ash

  • A. Carbon
  • B. Volatile matter
  • C. Ash
  • 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.
