❥USES OF COAL :

▶️ It is used as a domestic and industrial fuel. When coal is burnt in air, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide this reaction is exothermic and a lot of heat is released. This it is used for cooking food and converting water into steam in industries.

▶️ It is used in thermal power plants for generating electricity.

▶️ Destructive distillation of coal leads to the formation of coke, coal tar, coal gas, etc. Coke is 98% carbon and is used as a reducing agent in metallurgical process.

▶️ It is used to prepare synthetic oil and synthetic natural gas.

❥USES OF NATURAL GAS :

▶️ The major component of natural gas is Methane which is an excellent fuel there for natural gas is used as industrial fuel.

▶️ It is used to generate electricity in thermal power plants.

▶️ In the form of CNG, it is used as a fuel to transport vehicles which is more pollution free, as compared to diesel and petrol.

▶️ It is used to prepare hydrogen which is further used for the manufacture of fertilizers.
