Explanation:
Oxygen is all around us in the air we breathe. It is a very reactive element. When an element is reactive, it means that it will readily react with many other substances.
Coal is a form of carbon that is used as fuel for many different purposes. It is one of the primary fossil fuels that humans use to generate electricity for powering our industries, our activities and our living spaces.
Coal is a form of carbon and when it burns in oxygen we can represent the reaction with the following word equation:
