No. Coal is largely carbon and is burned for fuel. The combustion products are largely carbon dioxide and water vapor, plus some gases like sulfur dioxide. After coal is burned, it leaves behind ash, which is the impurities in coal that can't burn at the temperatures at which coal is burned. The ash can contain some silicon dioxide that was in the coal as an impurity.
Coal can be exposed to high pressure and heat that might transform the carbon in coal into other carbonaceous forms such as graphite or diamond. There is no process that could transform coal into silicon dioxide.
Sandstone is sand (silicon dioxide) plus cementing agents and is not burnable, because it is itself the product of the burning of silicon and oxygen (called oxidation), just like wood ash is.
What else can I help you with?
What is harder coal or sandstone?
Harder coal is generally harder than sandstone. Coal, particularly anthracite, can have a hardness of around 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, while sandstone typically ranges from 6 to 7. However, the hardness can vary depending on the specific type of sandstone and its mineral composition. Overall, most sandstones tend to be harder than coal.
How sandstone can turn into obsidian then turn to past of a conglomerate then back to sandstone then back to obsidian?
Toast.
Can sandstone turn in to marble?
No. Limestone turns into marble, not sandstone.

When sandstone is metamorphosed it turns into Quartzite.

Are sandstone and mudstone sedimentary rocks?
no not all of them for example like Bituminous coal or coal, is form by plant remains
What is rocks formed from sediment?

Coal and Sandstone are two types of sedimentary rocks.
How would you classify coal coral reef salt sandstone and conglomerate?
Coal and coral reef limestone are organic sediments salt is an evaporite Sandstone and conglomerate are sedimentary deposit rocks the latter from a high energy environment. They are ALL sedimentary deposits.
What rock covers near surface coal seams?
Very often sandstone, but sometimes shale.
