The combustion of coal is usually complex, as coal isn't a pure compound. But generally, the reaction of coal is as follows

C(s) + 02(g) ------> CO2(g) DH Negative

But often, sulphur is present is coal:

S(S) + O2(G) ----> SO2(g)

At those high temperatures, Nitrogen from the air and oxygen react as well:

N2(g) + 202(g) ----> 2NO2(g)

The general chemical reaction for combustion, often involving a hydrocarbon like methane, is: hydrocarbon + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy. For example, the combustion of methane can be represented as: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O.

The chemical reaction for combustion involves O2 gas in the reactants and H2O and O2 gas in the products. An example is CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ---> 2H2O(g) + CO2(g).
