Is gasoline matter or energy?
gasoline is matter, it is burned to create energy
What kind of energy does Gasoline Have?
The energy released from gasoline when it is used in a gasoline engine is chemical energy.
What happens when gasoline is turned into energy?
Gasoline is not turned into energy. When we burn gasoline, it reacts with oxygen, breaking down and combining with it to become water vapor, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. As this happens, energy stored in the chemical bonds is released. The new bonds in the products of this reaction do not contain as much energy.
What type of energy does a container of gasoline have?
The chemical energy stored in the gasoline. Or more precisely, the gasoline and oxygen in the air, separately, have more energy than after they combine.
Is all the energy in gasoline used to run the car?
No. A lot of the energy in the gasoline is wasted.
What are the advantages of gasoline?
Gasoline is (or at least was) an abundant source of energy. Combustion of gasoline is an exothermic reaction that releases a significant amount of energy that can be harnessed. It's also cheap compared to other fuel sources, and has one of the highest energy return on investment (EROI - how much energy do you get based on how much you invest) ratings.
What type of energy is gasoline?
Gasoline is potential energy.
Is gasoline matter or energy?
gasoline is matter, it is burned to create energy
What kind of energy does Gasoline Have?
The energy released from gasoline when it is used in a gasoline engine is chemical energy.
How much energy can gasoline produce?
According to Wikipedia, "Gasoline contains about 42.4 MJ/kg ... Gasoline blends differ, and therefore actual energy content varies... by up to 4% more or less than the average" Please note that that's the energy content per kilogram of gasoline; only a fraction of this is converted into useful energy in a car engine.
What happens when gasoline is turned into energy?
Gasoline is not turned into energy. When we burn gasoline, it reacts with oxygen, breaking down and combining with it to become water vapor, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. As this happens, energy stored in the chemical bonds is released. The new bonds in the products of this reaction do not contain as much energy.
How much thermal energy can you get out of a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline can generate roughly 20K BTU/lbm. There are 6 lbm per US gallon.
What type of energy does a container of gasoline have?
The chemical energy stored in the gasoline. Or more precisely, the gasoline and oxygen in the air, separately, have more energy than after they combine.
Is all the energy in gasoline used to run the car?
No. A lot of the energy in the gasoline is wasted.
What type of energy source is gasoline?
Gasoline is a Mechanical energy because gasoline can make cars move and cars are moving things.
What type of energy is in gasoline?
there are chemical energies in gasoline
How do you know that there is energy in gasoline?
Because it take energy to move a car and cars run on gasoline.
