The burning of wood creates what kind of energy?
Energy cannot be created. (Or destroyed) Burning changes the chemical energy of the wood to heat energy and light energy.
Wood has energy while a burning fire has energy?
Wood has chemical potential energy, when combustion occurs, you have fire. Fire is mostly heat and light energy.
Why does burning wood have radiant energy?
Burning wood is a chemical reaction called oxidization. By the application of heat the elements in the wood are rapidly oxidized, combined with oxygen from the air. The resultant energy is heat energy, heat energy has three forms: radiant heat - where the heat travels in a straight line from one surface (the flame or the wood) to another surface, in a straight line of sight. Convection heat - where the heat is carried by a fluid, the air, from one surface to another. (The flame becomes visible when the air is heated to incandescence[visible light]), the surface can be air molecules or solid materials. conduction - molecular transfer of heat from surface to surface by contact. Such as the heat transfer through the wood(the wood heats up). Heat energy always has these three forms. *note: a flame is only superheated air or gasses that have become incandescent. Incandescence is a conversion of heat to light. Light is a radiant energy that can be transformed to heat energy when it is absorbed by a material.
A sentence for heat?
I heat my home with a wood burning stove so my heating bill is minimal.
What was used to heat and light before electrical energy?
Candles and Wood Light and Heat
What is the observable change for burning a log?
The observable change for burning a log is the production of heat, light, and smoke.
What is the burning of wood in a fireplace generates heat and light in the form of flames called?
combustion
The burning of wood creates what kind of energy?
Energy cannot be created. (Or destroyed) Burning changes the chemical energy of the wood to heat energy and light energy.
Where did heat energy used to melt metal ores come from?
Burning charcoal, wood and coal.
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
Why does water put out burning wood?
The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.
Wood has energy while a burning fire has energy?
Wood has chemical potential energy, when combustion occurs, you have fire. Fire is mostly heat and light energy.
What energy is from burning wood?
'HEAT' energy
Can you use your wood burning stove if your only source heat is from Propane?
Yes you can use your wood burning stove if your only source heat is from Propane.
How come you can't smell fire but what it burns?
Because fire is just heat of what’s burning. Like fire on its own is noting. It’s not possible. Fire is just heat, but if you put that heat on wood it’ll smell like burning wood. same with meat and other stuff. Heat doesn’t have a smell.
Is buring wood exothermic?
Yes, burning wood gives off heat.
What chemical change needs heat?
burning of wood
