a) 3.76
b) 4.51
c) 2.23
d) 3.49
View Answer
Explanation: None.
2. Which of the following mode is not used to liquefy coal?
a) hydrogenation
b) catalytic conversion
c) hydro pyrolysis
d) coal gasification
View Answer
Explanation: In coal gasification, coal is gasified in a situ and the gas is conveyed to the surface. The other processes are methods of coal liquefaction.
