How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
What are the examples of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Examples of chemical energy are: the digestive process, batteries, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alcohol, fermentation, and rusting.
How do fossil fuels burn?
Fossil fuels include oil, gas, coal, and all other products that are derived from fossil fuels and used as an energy source. Fossil fuels release energy when they are burned. Take your car for example. You put gas in your car, and your engine burns the fuel and converts the potential energy of the fossil fuel into heat energy, and the heat energy into kenetic energy, and your car goes. Although pg&e is now using some renewable energy sources as well, the majority of our electricity comes from fossil fuels. The fossil fuel is burned, and the energy that is released is converted into electromagnetic energy, another word for electricity. A simpler example is gas, like the gas that is used in a gas stove. The gas is a fossil fuel, and it is burned. When it is burned it releases heat and light.
What kind of energy does not come from the sun?
Nuclear energy. Other forms like fossil fuels, hydro, solar, wind, biomass, depend on the sun.
Is chemical energy a non renewable or renewable resource?
Chemical energy comes from different sources. Some, like the burning of fossil fuels with oxygen, are clearly non-renewable. Others like biomass or sunflower oil can be renewed, because the material can be re-grown (as long as the sun lasts). So it depends on whether the source chemicals are renewable or not. While you cannot replace the same chemical energy you have used the vast amount of chemical energy puts it above finite resources such as fossil fuels. When it comes to chemical energy the question of renewable or nonrenewable is not all important. Chemical energy is the form of energy most often used but many don't realize that is the case. This is a chemical reaction that takes place when fossil fuels are burned, when gasoline is combusted or when natural gas is used. Those are fundamental processes of chemical energy where the energy is released by burning. Batteries that power everything in our home from ceiling fans to cell phones use chemical energy. Chemical compounds are collections of large numbers of atoms. The atoms are bound to each other and when those bonds are broken a chemical reaction is the result. When a process is applies to break the bonds of atoms, new compounds are created in the process. Oxidation of the atoms occurs immediately as the bonds break. Exothermic energy is the result of a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. We use the heat energy produced to power various products and systems we use daily. When the exothermic energy is released the amount (size) of the chemical compound is reduced
When a fossil fuels is burn energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Fossil fuels represent chemical energy, a form of potential energy. This energy was stored in the hydrocarbon molecules and can be released by oxidation (burning).

When you burn a fossil fuel what is the potential energy converted to?
The chemical potential energy in fossil fuels is converted to thermal energy (heat) by burning them.
A type of potential energy that is made from fossil fuels?
chemical energy
What is the energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal?
Chemical potential energy
What is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned.?
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
What is stored in a fossil fuel and released in the form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential energy, which is stored as chemical bonds in the hydrocarbon molecules.
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
The potential chemical energy in fossil fuels and food was stored by plants that converted the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy.
What type of energy is released when fossil fuels are burned?
it released chemical energy
