How is starting a car a chemical reaction?

Starting a car involves a chemical reaction between the fuel (gasoline) and oxygen in the air. The spark plug ignites the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinder, leading to a combustion reaction that releases energy in the form of heat, which powers the engine. This chemical reaction generates the energy needed to start the car and keep it running.

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!!!!!


What do you call the energy which is stored in chemical fuels such as petrol?

The energy stored in chemical fuels such as petrol is called chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction, such as combustion, which can be harnessed to do work.
