Best Answer

Yes, the burning of any hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide. This equation illustrates the burning of a hydrocarbon.

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + energy

As you can see carbon dioxide is produced along with water and energy.
Yes burning coal or any carbon based fuel produces carbon dioxide.

What does burning fossil fuel give off?

Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


Why coal does not give out water?

Coal is an allotrope of carbon. When burnt, coal will give carbon dioxide. Water is not formed, because there is no hydrogen in coal that will be oxidised to water.

What fuels give out pollution when they are burned?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution which is causing global warming. The burning of coal releases other pollutants like sulphur dioxide (SO2) , nitrogen oxides (NOx) , mercury and aerosol particles. This causes acid rain, as well as bronchitis, asthma and other human illnesses.

Which processes increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Respiration: All animals breathe out carbon dioxide, but this is part of the carbon cycle.Volcanic Eruptions: These give off massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide, but humans add the same amount with three days of fossil fuel emissions.Combustion: Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), is the main process increasing CO2 levels.


Why does Coal give off a large amount of carbon?

Coal is essentially made out of carbon and when that carbon is burned it combines with Oxygen in the air to produce CO (Carbon monoxide) and CO2 (Carbon dioxide) gases both of which contribute to global warming.
