Gas contains potential chemical energy because it contains carbon and hydrogen. Both these elements can react with oxygen taken from the air to produced carbon dioxide, water vapour and a lot of heat. The heat can be used to drive a heat engine (usually a turbine), either directly or via water boiled into steam.

What happens to chemical energy from gas when it is ignited in a ring on a hob?
What happens to the chemical energy from gas when it is ignited in gas ring on a hob
How can chemical energy be converted into mechanical energy?
Engines use fuel to produce mechanical energy. For instance, a car's internal combustion engine uses chemical energy stored in fuel to turn a drive shaft.The idea of internal combustion is to burn the compressed mixture of fuel and air to produce expanding gas to convert into mechanical energy.
What gas do plants produce for the atmosphere?
Plants produce an excess of oxygen which is released into the atmosphere. This is a product of photosynthesis.
Two chemical are mixed together and a gas is produce is it chemical or physical?
physical change
The process of burning gas in a car engine to release what kind of energy physical or chemical?
Neither, the process of burning gas (which stores chemical energy) releases that energy as "HEAT" energy. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy.
Is photosynthesis in leaves a chemical or physical change?
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction. Using Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, plants can produce high energy sugars and oxygen. Here is the formula:Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 ----> C6H12O6, 6O2
Is gas in a gas tank chemical energy?
No, it's gas. There is chemical energy stored in the gasoline that can be released by burning it, which I suspect is what you were really trying to ask.
Which energy source is made from plants?
Question is a little vaguely worded - so there are two ways of looking at it.Plants produce chemical energy from sunlight, water and basic minerals.Sources of energy derived from plant materials includes:wood, charcoal, coal, natural gas and oil
How do plants get gas?
plants get there energy from sun
What energy is gas on stove?
The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air. The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed. Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.

What are good things about natural gas?
Natural Gas is an important fuel source, it is a major feed stock for fertilizers. Natural Gas plants produce electricity about 20% more efficiently than new coal plants, and they produce it with far fewer air-polluting emissions. The chemical process of Natural Gas is much more energy-efficient than combustion and it emits no air pollutants. Compared to other energy sources, natural gas is a good buy to heat your home. Natural gas is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel. ~I Hope this doesn't help you

What energy can you get from natural gas?
chemical energy
What energy is in gas barbecue?
chemical energy
Is gas a form of energy?
No, it has chemical energy
How is fossil fuels used to produce energy?
when we burn fossil fuels such as oil,gas and coal we produce heat.This can be used to fuel power plants which is where most of our energy for electronic devices and heating are funded
