The burning of coal or natural gas in an electrical generation plant would follow those steps. Starting as a hydrocarbon with lots of potential energy, it would be burned to heat water, which would then boil and create stream would would in turn drive a turbine attached to an electrical generator.

What is the common way reactions occur?
Examples of chemical reactions: neutralization, thermal decomposition, synthesis, single displacement, double displacement.
How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
What is the process of initiating a chemical reaction by passing an electric current through an electrolytic solution?
This process is the thermal decomposition.
Is thermal expansion a chemical change?
It is a physical property. As there is no change in chemical composition and only size increases.
What helps chemical reactions occur?
A catalyst helps chemical reactions occur.
What is the energy conversion that occur when coal is formed and then burned to produce thermal energy?
Conversion from chemical potential energy to thermal energy.
What are the 4 forms of energy used for a flashlight?
Chemical (battery), electrical (current), thermal (filament), and radiant (light).
Which type of sources can result in burns?
Thermal, Electrical, Chemical (All of the above)
What is the common way reactions occur?
Examples of chemical reactions: neutralization, thermal decomposition, synthesis, single displacement, double displacement.
What converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
chemical energy in batteries to thermal energy.
What is the energy transformation in transformer?
The chemical energy of the battery is transformed into electrical energy to light the lamp. When an external circuit is completed around the battery, chemical reactions occur inside the cell or cells, and electric current flows to do the work of heating the filament in the lamp to incandescence. We've got light. cemical-light-thermal.
What most occur to produce electric current?
Chemical changes, change in magnetic flux linked with a conductor cause the production of electric current.
What is thermal chemical?
A gas used for thermal heat etc.
Thermal radiation chemical?
no
Describe the energy transformation that occur when a piece of wood is burned?
Chemical Potential energy--> heat energy--->light energy
Is thermal conductivity a chemical or a physical?
Thermal conductivity is a Physical property
What kind of energy does a candle have?
Chemical energy to thermal. Thermal to electrical
