Detailed Solution

When coal is burnt, the chief component carbon reacts with the oxygen present in the air and produces carbon dioxide. This is called combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction. There is a change in chemical composition and this reaction cannot be reversed as carbon dioxide cannot be converted into coal again. Hence, the burning of coal is a chemical change.
