Yes, in a power station the energy balance can be assessed, all the heat from burning the coal or whatever has to appear somewhere, either in the station output or in losses which can be accounted for.

∙ 14y agoThe law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form. However, it has been shown that energy can be converted into matter and vice versa. (that is the short answer. For more complete information study quantum physics and E = mc2)

Is energy created during an exothermicreaction?
Mass and energy can never be created or destroyed, but can change forms. An exothermic reaction releases stored chemical energy and transforms it into heat, but the total amount of energy does not change.
When energy changes forms energy is always produced?
No, energy is not produced. The total amount of energy doesn't change.
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light The total amount of energy?
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy
What is laws of conservation of energy?
A conservation law, such as this one, can be stated in different ways; for example:* The total amount of energy in a closed system doesn't change over time.* Any change in energy in a system is equal to the energy that comes in, minus the energy that goes out.* There is a quantity called energy, that can't be created or destroyed.
What law says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed?
In general, if some quantity (in a closed system) doesn't change over time, it is said that there is a conservation law. In this case, what doesn't change is the total amount of energy, so this is the law of conservation of energy.
How does the total amount of energy change as the energy is changed from potichal to kinetic?
The total amount of energy doesn't change in this case.
An airplane changes energy into different forms The total amount of energy does not?
The total amount of energy doesn't change. However, some useful energy will be converted into unusable energy.The total amount of energy doesn't change.

However, some useful energy will be converted into unusable energy.The total amount of energy doesn't change. However, some useful energy will be converted into unusable energy.
What change when the amount of a substance change?
total thermal energy
How often does the total amount of energy in the universe change?
We do not think it does change.
How does the law of convservation of energy affect he total amount of energy in any process?
"Law of conservation" means that the total amount won't change.
Compare the total amount of energy before and after physical and chemical changes?
Physical Change-- Same amount of energy, but in different form Chemical Change-- Different amount of energy, and in a different form
HOW DOES THE LAW OF COERVATIONS O ENERGY affect TOTAL AMOUNT OF ENERGYIN ANY PROCESS?
"Conservation" means that the total amount of energy doesn't change.
The law which states that the total amount of energy in the universe does not change?
The Law of Conservation of Energy
Does the amount of energy change when one energy changes to another?
No. It just gets moved around. The total amount of energy stays the same.
How is energy conserve in a transformation?
The total amount of energy before and after a transformation will be the same. Energy may pass from one object to another object, or be converted from one type of energy to another, but the total amount doesn't change.
What happens to usable energy?
In any transfer of energy or conversion of energy from one form to another, the total amount of energy does not change. The total amount of usable energy, however, always decreases.
How does the amount of energy in the univeres today compare to the amount in the universe one million ago?
It isn't entirely clear whether total energy is conserved in General Relativity, or whether the total energy is even clearly defined in all cases. But in general it is assumed that the total amount of energy doesn't change over time.
