The combustion of coal in air is an exothermic redox reaction. During this process, carbon in the coal reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide and heat, releasing energy. Additionally, impurities in coal can lead to the formation of other products, such as sulfur dioxide if sulfur is present. Overall, it is a crucial reaction for energy production but also contributes to environmental pollution.
Another name for burning is combustion. The term combustion is more commonly used in scientific fields like chemistry and physics.
A chemical reaction is a change in which one kind of matter changes into a different kind of matter with different properties. Reactant is a substance used in a chemical reaction and a product is a substance made in a chemical reaction. Hope this is helpful! ;)
Combustion. It fits this pattern: fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water. It also releases heat.
The reaction you've provided is a combustion reaction. In this reaction, methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as products.
Exothermic reactions. E.g. combustion, oxidation
It produces new substances like carbon dioxide (CO₂), water vapor (H₂O), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and ash. The process is irreversible — coal cannot be recovered after burning. It involves a chemical reaction (typically with oxygen), releasing heat and light (exothermic reaction). Would you like a simple diagram or explanation of the chemical equation involved?

No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat
it uses kinetic energy (movement) and a chemical reaction.

Yed +++ No, not a different "kind" of matter, but different "matters", i.e. different chemical compounds. Combustion is a chemical reaction, or set of them, depending on what is burning..
Exothermic - Gives of heat.
CO2 Using the chemical formula for combustion ie methane plus oxygen yields to carbon dioxide and water
The principal materials used for fuel are petroleum and coal. Ordinary hard coal is called anthracite coal, and the soft, lumpy kind that crumbles very easily is called bituminous coal. All fuels are composed of carbon, or compounds of carbon and hydrogen, called hydrocarbons, combined with such impurities as ash, sulphur, nitrogen, etc.

A combustion reaction
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.
