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.

What does coal give off?
it gives of carbon dioxide when it is burned
Give one word for Variety of coal having maximum carbon content?
lignite
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.
Is carbon dioxide produced by burning coal and natural gas?
'Is carbon dioxide produced by burning' carbon rich compounds in an oxygen rich environment, I'm only going to give you one guess at this - better make it a good one!
Why is waste better than coal?
coal has to be burned in order to gain energy, whereas waste can be fermented at 35 oC to give its energy over an extended amount of time. Note that the question is biased!
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.

How are biofuels not carbon neutral?
Biofuels are carbon neutral.Bio fuels are considered carbon neutral because they give off the same amount of carbon when burned that they absorb while growing. So, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), they don't pollute the environment by adding extra CO2 to the atmosphere.
Why do certain types of coal give off more carbon dioxide than other types of coal?
Coal is not all the same. Different coals have different amounts of carbon, Bituminous, or soft coals have the highest percentage of carbon, up to almost 90%, Anthracite or hard coals have close to 80% carbon content, and lignite, brown coals have about 40% carbon content. Carbon content is what determines how much CO2 is produced by coal's combustion.

Will a steam burn give off a large amount of heat as it condenses?
the steam will give off a large amount of heat as it condenses.

Which method of generating electricity produces carbon dioxide?
Coal power stations will give off CO2 emissions.
Why should the amount of carbon in the air stay the same?
to give plants nuetrition
Why do homes use natural gas for central heating instead of coal or oil?
It is because it is cleaner in burning and does not give a lot of carbon dioxide.
