What form of energy is being used as a candle burns?
The chemical energy stored in the candle wax.
Where does the energy stored in coal originally come form?
From the sun's radiation which made the plants grow that converted into coal
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
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
In what form does energy leave the biosphere?
Is chemical energy a form of energy?
Yes, chemical energy is a form of potential energy. An example is the chemical energy in coal, which can be burned to convert that chemical energy into thermal energy.
What type of energy does a candle have?
Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
What form of energy is a candle?
Heat and light energy.
What form of energy is being used as a candle burns?
The chemical energy stored in the candle wax.
What form of energy is found in candle ones lighted?
light energy
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
What form of energy is in a candle?
The Light of a candle is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so it is electromagnetic energy. It is also called radiant energy. A candle, however, can emit others kinds of energy like heat, light, sounds, kinetic energy (that makes the air move due to convection) and so on.
When a candle is burning does that violate the laws of conservation of mass and energy?
No. -- Mass leaves the candle in the form of hot gases and soot, and there's always some of it left in the puddle of melted wax under the candle. -- Oxygen combines with the hydrocarbons in the candle material and the fibers in the wick, releasing chemical energy that leaves the candle in the form of heat and light.
What form of energy is produced when you use the candle?
When you light a candle, it burns the wax. That is chemical energy. The thermal energy is produced as the lighted wick continue to burn the wax. It also gives out light as it burns.
What supplies the activation energy to light the candle?
Energy is never "used" it is always converted to another form of energy.Therefore, there must be different forms of energy which are:1. Chemical2. Electrical3. Elastic4. Nuclear5. Thermal6. Gravitational7. Kinetic8. Light(9. Sound)When a candle burns the chemical energy is converted into thermal or "heat" energy.
Reaction such as a candle burning give off energy in the form of heat they're called?
Exothermic Trishi! =)
When you lift the object. What is the energy?
Chemical energy (originally form the Sun) in your muscles is used to impart potential energy to the object you have lifted.
How is sun energy used for benefit of humans?
99.999% of all energy that humans use is originally form the Sun.
