Is gasoline being used in the engine of a car a chemical change?
Yes, the gasoline is chemically reacting with the oxygen in the atmosphere to create the heat needed to power the car.
What type of change occurs when a car engine consumes gasoline - chemical or physical?
I don't think burning a gas to power a car is either Chemical nor Physical. If you burn gasoline to power a car, it is therefore a chemical AND physical change because both the chemicals and the look changes. However, a car being powered has nothing to do with the substance of gas being changed. If the car uses the gas to power itself, it'll turn the gas into gas again, so I'm not sure how this works. In conclusion, it's probably neither.
What is the micron size of a gasoline molecule?
Engine performance and efficiency is measured not only on how it was constructed and the materials used, but also on the characteristics of the fuel it will use. For gasoline fed engines, the smaller the molecules, the better the power is produced during combustion. Different Oil companies have their own blends for gasoline and the particle sizes will range from 30 to 100 microns depending on the blend. Engine designers have introduced advanced injection systems that further break down the gasoline particles up 10 microns as they are fed into the combustion chamber.
What object goes from chemical to thermal energy?
burners of boilers use fossil fuels like gas or gasoline to heat up water or something else that goes to terminals like radiATORS.
Classify the following as a chemical or physical property or change. A tree is struck by lightning. why?
It is a physical change, because even though the tree was struck by a strong force of power(lightning), it is evident that no new substance was formed.

A car uses stored chemical energy in gasoline to move. The engine changes chemical energy into heat and energy to power the car.?
Yes, that's right
What are examples of mechanical energy transformed into chemical energy?
There are many examples of how chemical energy can be transformed into mechanical energy. Perhaps the best known example is the combustion of gasoline in an engine to power an automobile.
How is the gasoline engine used?
As a power unit?,,,,wow!
How is carbon monoxide made in car?
Carbon Monoxide is a by-product of combustion of petroleum (Gasoline) When gasoline burns (Because of the ignition that happens within the engine) it products carbon monoxide (Chemical Formula "CO"). The greater the engine capacity and power/speed, the greater is the amount of gasoline that gets burnt and greater is the amount of carbon monoxide produced
Where does 1999 dodge ram 2500 get its vacuum?
A gasoline engine makes it's own vacuum. The diesel engine has a vacuum pump next to the power steering pump.A gasoline engine makes it's own vacuum. The diesel engine has a vacuum pump next to the power steering pump.
How does a diesel engine differ from a gasoline engine?
A diesel engine fires from compression and not from a spark. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines normally have less horsepower than a gasoline engine but have much more torc, or pulling power.
What can mix to gasoline to make octain high and give more power to engine?
You can add ethanol to gasoline to make the octane higher.
Why does the burned gasoline do more work on the piston of an automobile engine during the power stroke?
The combustion cylcle (power stroke) forces piston down to create engine power.
How does gasoline power a car?
Look up internal combustion engine - Otto cycle.
Why was the gasoline engine invented?
The gasoline engine was needed because the steam engine was too large and heavy for anything smaller than a train or a large boat. Everyone was trying to invent a smaller, lighter power source.
