Is matter being destroyed In power plants that use coal?

No, matter is not being destroyed in power plants that use coal. When coal is burned, it undergoes a chemical reaction that converts it into heat, ash, and various gases. The matter is transformed rather than destroyed.


What form of energy does coal make?

Energy cannot be 'made' or 'destroyed'. It can simply be transformed to a different type of energy. Coal contains chemical energy, which will for example, be converted to heat energy in say a coal fired industrial boiler.


How can can you use up a source of energy when energy cannot be destroyed?

It's true that energy is never destroyed-- whan you use up a source of energy, you simply convert it to another form. When gas is burned in a car, for example, it turns from chemical energy to thermal and kinetic energy, which is then converted into sound, and eventually thermal energy in the form of friction.


How is stored chemical energy converted into thermal energy when coal is burned to make steam?

When coal is burned to make steam, the stored chemical energy in the coal is released as heat energy through a combustion reaction. This heat energy is then used to heat water and produce steam, which in turn drives turbines to generate electricity. The thermal energy from burning coal is transformed into mechanical energy and then electrical energy in this process.


What does coal change into?

coal, in theory, should turn into diamonds if under intense pressure and heat for millions of years.

What will happen to the mass of paper when it is burned in a closed system?

The mass of paper will remain the same in a closed system when it is burned because matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed into different forms. The paper will be converted into ash and gases, but the total mass will be conserved.
