What are some examples of chemical energy being converted into light energy?
A perfect example is a common glow stick. In a glow stick, phenyl oxalate, fluorescent dye, and hydrogen peroxide mix to produce a chemiluminescent reaction (generating light from chemical energy).
Which example involves the transformation of chemical energy directly into light energy?
A glow stick
Breaking a light stick chemical change?
Breaking a light stick is not a chemical in and of its self, but the subsequent process that produces light is.
Is a glow stick that produces light a chemical change?
Yes, a glow stick produces light by means of a chemical change.
What makes a glow stick glow?
A glow stick glows as the result of the chemical reaction between two liquids - the 'oxilate' typically trichloro-6-carbonpentoxyphenyl and phenylethynyl. The chemical reaction for this kind of heatless light happens when you mix multiple chemical compounds. When you combine two or more compounds, the atoms may rearrange themselves to form new compounds. Depending on the nature of these compounds, this chemical reaction will cause either a release of energy or absorption of energy. We know that we can activate a glow stick by bending and then shaking it. When you bend it, a very fragile glass vial inside of it breaks and releases the chemical inside (hydrogen peroxide) to mix with the other substance (phenyl oxlate ester). When the two compounds are allowed to mix, they go through a chemical reaction (oxidation), which makes a different, unstable chemical, called peroxyacid ester. This new unstable substance decomposes into a different compound, (phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound) and then to carbon dioxide. The energy caused by the decomposition makes the particles in the fluorescent dye move faster and this creates light. The color of the fluorescent dye determines what color the light will be. The process by which this happens is called chemiluminescence.

When you crush a glow stick and shake it the two liquids mix and the stick glows. Is this a chemical reaction and is energy being absorbed or given off?
In a glow stick a chemical reaction occur; the energy is released.
What type of energy dose a light stick have?
Assuming that you are referring to non-electric light sticks, it is chemical energy. The reaction is started by mechanical energy (cracking the stick). The chemical nature of glow sticks is also evident in the fact that they die down eventually after the reactants are used up.
Does an incandescent bulb and a light stick use the same form of energy to create light?
No. The incandescent bulb uses electrical energy and the light stick uses chemical energy.
Which example involves the transformation of chemical energy directly into light energy?
A glow stick
What is the energy transformation of a glow stick?
Fu*king donkeys
What energy change occurs during burning a match stick?
chemical energy to light and heat energy
Which device converts chemical potential energy into light?
A glow stick is one example.
Is it correct to say that an incandescent bulb and a light stick use the same form of energy to create light Why or why not?
No. One is chemical energy, the other is electrical energy.
What energy conversion occurs when a stick of dynamite explodes?
Chemical energy into heat, light, sound and very rapid motion.
Breaking a light stick chemical change?
Breaking a light stick is not a chemical in and of its self, but the subsequent process that produces light is.
What type of energy does a stick of unlit dynamite demonstrate?
Chemical potential energy.
