And wher does it go...
The amount of coal burned by the average household varies based on factors such as the size of the house, heating efficiency, climate, and personal preferences. However, in general, an average household may burn around 2-4 tons of coal per year for heating purposes.
China burns approximately 4 billion metric tons of coal each year, accounting for about half of the world’s total coal consumption. This heavy reliance on coal has significant implications for air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and global climate change.
it takes 800 gallons of water to make 1 megawatt-hour of electricity (1000 kWh).
The amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) produced from burning coal depends on the sulfur content of the coal being burned. On average, burning one ton of coal can produce between 1-2 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions.
The energy produced when burning coal can vary, but on average, one ton of coal can produce about 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity. Coal combustion releases heat energy due to the chemical reaction between coal and oxygen. This heat energy is used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
It used 620 tons.
Coal is not renewable within our life times. Much of the coal we burn today formed during the Permian, some 300 million years ago.
The key to a hot fire is not how much you burn, but WHAT you burn. Coal makes some of the hottest fires. A slower-burning fuel like diesel or kerosene will also help. Try to pack the material to be burned as much as possible; the reason coal is effective is because it is a very dense collection of carbon.
Pure coal (?) , None, just CO2.
The Titanic had 159 coal-burning furnaces fueling the boilers.
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.

Yes, coal is very much still in use. Many power plants burn cola to produce electricity, particularly in under developed countries with growing economies. China is one of the largest users right now.
Will depend on the mine, but in general, underground coal mines may be very wet. One of the first uses of early steam engines was operating mine pumps to control water levels.
The energy produced from burning one ounce of uranium is equivalent to burning approximately 3 tons of coal. This is because uranium has a much higher energy density and efficiency in power generation compared to coal. This means that a small amount of uranium can produce the same amount of energy as a much larger amount of coal.
