Your question isn't rigorous enough. When you burn coal you are combining carbon from the coal with oxygen in the air. So the mass of Carbon Dioxide created is greater than the original mass of coal. There is no mass destroyed however, you just have to be more rigorous in the parameters of your question.

How could you set up an experiment to prove that burning a paper does not change its mass?
Weigh an empty non-flammable closed box and record its mass. Put a piece of paper with a large enough mass to be detected inside the closed box. Weigh the closed box with the paper inside it and record its mass. How do we -{Light the paper on fire inside the closed box and wait until the paper is fully burned}? Weigh the closed box with burned paper inside it and record its mass. Subtract the box with ashes weight from the box with paper weight, and analyze the result(s).
What Three Things Stay The Same Before And After A Chemical Reaction?
The mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.The atomic nucleus reamain unchanged in chemicals involved.
When substances go through a chemical change what happens to the mass'?
The total mass of products is unchanged from the total mass of the reactants, but the masses of particular substances among the reactants or products change.
How is energy stored in coal?
it is stored in coal threw chemical energy! jpp #stay in school hahahaha
What must the mass of reactants do to the mass of the products in a chemical reaction?
As the law of conservation of matter and mass dictates, matter can't be created or destroyed, only changed. The mass and the number of atoms always stay the same through a chemical reaction, just rearranged.
Does your mass increase decrease or stay the same if you so to Saturn?
Your mass will stay the same no matter where you go.
Does you mass always stay the same no matter what?
Yes, no gas is given off, therefore the mass of conversation will stay the same.
What would happen to your mass if you went to a planet with less gravity?
Your mass will stay the same. Mass is always the same no matter what.
If your mass is 68 kg on earth your mass on mars would be?
Your mass would stay the same. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, so your mass would stay at 68kg.
After the water is boiled its mass stays the same yes or no?
After water has been boiled, its mass will stay the same.
Does the mass of an object always stay the same?
Yes
What properties stay the same during physical and chemical change?
mass mass
When two properties of a crayon will stay about the same after the crayon is melted?
The two properties of a crayon that will stay about the same after being melted is it's color and mass.
When water evaporates why does the mass stay the same?
The law of mass conservation is generally valid.
How will the mass of a rocket change when it has reached outer space?
NO. the rocket will not shrink,grow,compact,or spread out and stay same size.the stuff in it will stay the same,,,,,,,,,,but the weight will change because there is no gravity to pull down on it. (The mass of the rocket will change continuously from the time it leaves the launch pad until sometime after it has reached space. That's because of the fuel mass it loses, as the engines burn. But once the engines cut off, the vehicle's mass doesn't change.)
When Fe and CuS04 react does the mass stay the same?
Yes. See the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Does mass always stay the same?
The mass of an object can be subtracted or added. For example, with water, you can just add more to have a larger mass. With ice, you can just chop off a portion to lessen its mass. Though, if you take a piece of paper and crumple it up, the mass will stay the same. It just depends on the context of the situation.
