Burning coal produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is this a false statement about the use of coal?

No, this is true. Coal is a fossil fuel which holds carbon which has been trapped underground for millions of years. When it is burnt the carbon dioxide is released where it adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

What produces sulfur dioxide?
burning of fossil fuels
Burning coal produces which gas?
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
The burning of charcoal produces which poisonous gas?
the burning of charcoal produces the poisonous gas carbon monoxide when the burning is incomplete and carben dioxide when its complete
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Does burning coal give off carbon dioxide?
Yes, the burning of any hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide. This equation illustrates the burning of a hydrocarbon.CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + energyAs you can see carbon dioxide is produced along with water and energy.Yes burning coal or any carbon based fuel produces carbon dioxide.
How does burning parraffin in a greenhouse help plants photosynthesise?
Burning paraffin produces carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis.
What energy source produces largest greenhouse gases?
The burning of coal emits more carbon dioxide than any of the other fossil fuels.
Does natural gas cause greenhouse gas?
Yes. Natural gas is mostly methane, which is a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. Burning natural gas produces carbon dioxide, though not as much as oil or coal.
Sulfur dioxide forms from the burning of what?
Burning sulfur in oxygen produces sulfur dioxide.
What greenhouse gases do you get from burning diesel fuel?
The main greenhouse gas emitted from burning diesel, a fossil fuel, is carbon dioxide (CO2).
How is the Greenhouse effect linked to the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels releases long-hidden carbon dioxide into the other greenhouse gases overloading the greenhouse effect.
Why is it impossible for cabon dioxide to be a greenhouse gas?
It is not impossible. It is a greenhouse gas that produces about 5 to 25% of all warming.
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
What produces sulfur dioxide?
burning of fossil fuels
What greenhouse gases do watermelon produce?
Some people want to convert old discarded fruits and rinds into ethanol. This can be mixed into gasoline for cars. When you burn it, it produces carbon dioxide, our most infamous greenhouse gas. This produces more greenhouse gas because we are burning the fruit instead of letting it rot and become buried safely in the ground.
How does the burning of fossil increase the greenhouse effect?
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
