Silica gel is generally better than coal at preventing moisture. Silica gel is a desiccant, which means it is a substance that can absorb moisture from the air. It is commonly used in packaging for products that are sensitive to moisture, such as electronics, medicines, and food. Silica gel can absorb up to 40% of its own weight in moisture, making it a very effective way to prevent moisture damage.
Coal, on the other hand, is not typically used as a moisture absorbent. While it is true that coal can absorb some moisture, it is not as effective as silica gel. In fact, coal can release moisture over time, which can actually increase the humidity in the surrounding environment.
Therefore, if you need to prevent moisture in a particular setting, it is recommended to use silica gel rather than coal.
