In the proximate analysis of a coal sample, the combustible portion that is released by (a) heating value (b) moisture heating the sample in the absence of o2 is called the: (c) volatile matter (d) fixed carbon (e) ash.

Proximate analysis of coal provides information of the moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon and total sulfur.

Explanation:

The proximate analysis provides information on the volatile matter that is contained within the coal sample. Volatile matter gives an indication if the coal will have good quick ignition in a boiler in a gas state. The higher the volatile matter the better quality of the coal. Fixed carbon provides the amount of carbon that can react with the air at a burner front in a solid state. The higher fixed carbon the better the coal quality. The ash content is an indication of inorganic waste material that might cause a delay in combustion of coal. The higher the ash content the less the coal quality.

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
