No, for coal burning<span> to be a </span>reversible change<span>, you would need the ability to take CO2 and turn it back into solid carbon.</span>

I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides. 

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

Why is the atmospheric pressure lower on a high mountain peak than at sea level
Elenna [48]
The earths gravity attracts the molecules and collects the most near the surface. They all have weight and therefore have more pressure at the surface, as well. As you go higher, the attraction becomes less and these molecules some times fly off into space. This layer of equilibrium has the least of weight or pressure. 

The various pressures are measured by precision instruments called barometers or pressure sensors and expressed in inches of mercury or millibars. <span>Air has a weight too, although not very much, If you "pile" the air mile high, the bottom pressure is heavier because of all the air sitting on top of it, therefore the pressure decreases with altitude, because there is less air "piled up" </span>
<span>An analogy would be the same with water.</span>

Planes have these instruments that tells the crew the altitude above sea level they are at when flying.

Describe how the properties of elements in the same group differ to the properties of elements in the same period
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell. (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O? silicon dioxide silicon trioxygen disilicon dioxygen monosil
Flauer [41]

The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)

Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:

there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.

SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.

All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.

Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.
