Why is energy is not created during an exothermic reaction?

Energy is only transformed from one form to another. In exothermic reaction the energy within the bonds is transformed into energy released as heat


How do you know a light bulb transforms 100 percent of its electricity into light?

You don't. A light bulb transforms only a fraction of its energy into light, and most of it into heat. For an incandescent bulb about 3% is transformed into light, while for a compact fluorescent (low-energy light) about 15% is transformed into light.


Why and how does light give out heat?

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed.It can only be transformed from one form to another.eg of conversion from light energy to heat energy is the sunlight which is converrted to heat energy.


Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?

Can you create energy?

We know that that process is what goes on inside stars and generates the energy they radiate into space, and we cause the same process to occur and to generate energy in nuclear power plants and weapons.


Does a microwave produce nuclear energy?
