What energy is released by fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel are burnt to release HEAT
How is it true that fossil fuels are ancient and stored forms of solar energy?
Solar energy (heat and light from the sun) grew the plants which fed the animals. The dead plants and animals, under immense pressure and heat, gradually turned into coal, oil and natural gas, the fossil fuels. When the fuel is burnt, that energy is released.
When fuels are burnt the chemical energy changes to what?
When fuels are burned, the chemical energy in the fuels is converted into heat energy and light energy. This process releases energy stored in the chemical bonds of the fuel molecules, resulting in heat and light as byproducts.
What is a feul?
Fuels are any materials that store potential energy in forms that can be practicably released and used for work or as heat energy.
What is released when fuels are burnt in oxygen?
CO2 (Carbon dioxide)
The energy stored in foods and fuels is potential energy?
Yes, that's correct. The potential energy stored in foods and fuels is released when these substances are burned or metabolized, converting the potential energy into forms such as heat, light, or mechanical energy.
In what processes are energy released?
condensation A+ : )
Can fuels be defined as materials that store energy?
Yes, fuels can be defined as materials that store energy in chemical bonds. When these bonds are broken through combustion or other processes, the stored energy is released in the form of heat or other forms of energy.
What must occur for the potential energy of fossiL fuel to change into other forms of energy?
For the potential energy of fossil fuels to change into other forms of energy, combustion must take place. In this process, heat energy is released, which can be transformed into other forms of energy like electrical energy in power plants or mechanical energy in engines.
How are fossil fuels used to generate energy?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt in vehicles and electricity power plants. This releases the energy.
How is energy released within biomass fuels?
Energy is released from biomass fuels through the process of combustion, where the fuel is burned in the presence of oxygen. During combustion, the carbon and hydrogen in the biomass react with oxygen to release heat energy in the form of heat and light. This energy can be harnessed to produce heat, electricity, or other forms of energy.
Fossil fuels transform chemical energy into other forms of energy?
Yes, fossil fuels contain stored chemical energy which is released through combustion to generate heat energy. This heat energy is then typically converted into mechanical energy, such as in a car engine, or into electrical energy in power plants.
