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.

What gas is released by burning coal?
Carbon Dioxide.
What is the main pollutant released by coal burning?
Carbon Dioxide
What does the burning of coal and diesel release?
carbon dioxide
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.
Burning coal produces which gas?
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
What gas is released by burning coal?
Carbon Dioxide.
What is the main pollutant released by coal burning?
Carbon Dioxide
What emissions and by-products are produced from burning coal?
Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide are by products are produced by burning most fossil fuels, not just coal.
Why does coal release carbon dioxide?
Coal is almost all carbon plus impurities. Burning it combines it with oxygen forming carbon dioxide.
What does the burning of coal and diesel release?
carbon dioxide
Does burning coal give off carbon dioxide?

Burning coal produces which gas?
Burning coal in complete combustion of oxygen produces carbon-dioxide where as burning coal in limted amount of oxygen produces carbon-monoxide.
What chemical forms from gas coal and oil burning?
Any burning process release carbon dioxide.
Burning coal produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is this a false statement about the use of coal?
No, this is true. Coal is a fossil fuel which holds carbon which has been trapped underground for millions of years. When it is burnt the carbon dioxide is released where it adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
How burning carbon in air can lead o the formation of carbon monoxide?
The formation of carbon dioxide. Burning coal that releases only carbon dioxide means the coal is completely burnt and more energy is produced. Carbon monoxide is released when the combustion process is incomplete.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What is produced when coal is burning?
during complete combustion burning of Coal results in Carbon Dioxide and Water along with soot.
