How much carbon dioxide is released when burning a kilo of coal?

Burning one kilo of carbon releases about 3.6 kilos of carbon dioxide. Carbon has an atomic weight of 12. Oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. The oxidation of carbon results in carbon dioxide, atomic weight 44. So 44/12 is 3.667. There are other things in coal besides pure carbon, slight impurities, so in general 1 kg of coal releases about 3.6 kg of CO2.

Why should charcoal fires not be used indoors?

when charcoal burns there is excess carbon causing soot to be given offThe above answer is correct in that there is too much carbon available for the amount of oxygen, which can result in the production of carbon monoxide gas. This gas is colorless and odorless and extremely toxic. A victim of carbon monoxide poisoning will usually simply fall asleep, and will die due to respiratory failure.Do not burn charcoal indoors or in any enclosed space.
