Best Answer

Coal can be turned into carbon dioxide that contains some of these mixed in:

water vapor, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ammonia.<br>

Also, when you burn coal, you get some solid stuff called "coal ash" or "fly ash" which is somewhat like sand or dirt particles.

Otherwise, you can bake coal in an airtight oven, and from that you get a thick oily substance called "coal tar", which can sometimes be used in medicines (in very small amounts), a complicated substance, and you also get ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and other poisonous substances, PLUS you get a solid substance called "coke" that is made of nearly 100 percent carbon. Coke is good for making iron and steel, and in smelting some other metals, and you can use it to heat up your house if you can get it an you burn it very carefully.
