Is burning petrol exothermic or endothermic?
Burning petrol is an exothermic process. It releases heat and light as energy is given off during the combustion of petrol.
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic?
YES!!! DEinitely!!!!! By the simple fact that the car engine becomes hot, when the engine is running (burning petrol). Petrol is a hydrovarbon. When combusted in a car engine, it is a chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon (petrol) and oxygen(air). This chemical reaction is exothermic, ( releases energy/heat). This release of energy is done in a very small space, hence the hot expanding gases push the piston down, and thereby mechanically move the car. The heat energy that you feel is waste energy. However, this 'waste' energy is used to heat the car interior. Here is a chemical word equation hydrocarbon + air =electric spark-> Carbon dioxide + Water. Hope that helps!!!!!
Is combustion exothermic?
'Exothermic' means to give out energy (heat). So combusting anything such as petrol/gasoline in a car engine is exothermic because it feels hot(heat) after while. In the lab. a lit Bunsen Burner is exothermic , because you are combusting a gas to make heat (energy).
IS the petrol NECESSARY FOR burning combustion?
Yes, petrol is necessary for burning combustion in spark ignition engines. It serves as the fuel source that, when combined with air and ignited by a spark plug, initiates the combustion process that powers the engine.
What is the difference between the burning temperature of diesel and petrol?
The burning temperature of diesel is higher than that of petrol. Diesel ignites at a higher temperature compared to petrol.

to make the vehicle go

What will happen if petrol is used as a fuel in diesel engine?
Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
What is burning petrol?
"Burning" petrol is the same as oxidising it, reacting it with oxygen or combusting it.

What is mean by petrol combustion?
The burning of petrol/gasoline.
How is protien like a car engine?
By burning up protein you get energy. Just like engines use petrol.
What engine uses a spark plug to ignite a compressed air-gas mixture?
A spark ignition engine, like your average gasoline/petrol burning car engine.
Is petrol burning in an engine is it a physical changes?
No,it's a chemical change,because the petrol used can't reversible,also.A considerable amount of heat change is usually involved.
Is burning petrol a reaction?
Yes, it is. The petrol turns into a gas.
