Gas
What else can I help you with?
What is a mixture of gasoline and air exploding an example of?
A mixture of gasoline and air exploding is an example of a chemical reaction, specifically combustion. In this process, the gasoline (fuel) reacts with oxygen (air) in a rapid exothermic reaction, releasing heat and producing combustion byproducts such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Which of the following examples involves an exothermic change?
Examples for exothermic change are burning of fuels or coal, burning of a fire cracker and glowing of an electric lamp.
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).
Which type of reaction is the burning of gasoline to release heat energy?
Exothermic reactions release heat into the system, ie. heat is a product of the reaction and thus the products have less energy than the reactants and the change in enthalpy is negative.Exothermic reactions release heat. Like potassium into water
When you burn a log in the fireplace or burn gasoline in a car is the reaction an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
Both burning a log in a fireplace and burning gasoline in a car are examples of exothermic reactions. These reactions release energy in the form of heat and light as they occur. The heat and light produced during the combustion process are key to generating the energy needed to heat a room or propel a vehicle.
Internal combustion engine of a gasoline engine?
a gasoline engine is an Internal combustion engine
What are the differences of internal combustion and gasoline engine?
and internal combustion engine and a gasoline engine are the same thing.
Is the combustion of gasoline spontaneous?
No, the combustion of gasoline is not spontaneous. It requires a spark or heat source to initiate the reaction.
What is a reaction that gives out a lot of heat?
An example of a reaction that gives out a lot of heat is the combustion of gasoline in engines. This reaction releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.
Why do vehicles need gasoline?
The source of energy for the non-hybrid automobiles is petrol or gasoline. The gasoline feeds into the combustion engine where it is actually the combustion that supplies the energy.
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.
Three examples of chemical reactions that are considered exothermic?
Combustion of gasoline in a car engine. Neutralization of an acid with a base, such as mixing hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. Rusting of iron in the presence of oxygen and water.
