Is charcoal less dense than water?
The only way that charcoal (whether of wood, animal, etc.) can float on water is if the total mass of the charcoal is less than the total mass of an equivalent volume of water. This means that the charcoal is not heavier than water, at least not an equal volume of water. If the charcoal was heavier than (an equivalent volume of) water, it would not float.
What happens when charcoal burns?
The carbon (the main component of charcoal) is oxidized, releasing heat, which is why it is called a fuel. There are other flammable components in charcoal that also are oxidized, adding their bit to the energy release.
The burning of charcoal is a spontaneous process yet heat must first be applied to start a charcoal why?
Burning charcoal is spontaneous, but not at room temperature. To start the combustion energy must be added (in the form of heat). Once the temperature of the charcoal reaches a certain temperature it reacts exothermically and releases heat. This heat of reaction is sufficient to locally heat more charcoal so that it burns continuously.
Where did heat energy used to melt metal ores come from?
Burning charcoal, wood and coal.
Is charcoal burning in a grill physical or chemical?
Its a chemical change because the properties of charcoal are changing when fire makes contact with it. It is realising energy and that is one of the most important signs to know if it is a chemical reaction.
A piece of charcoal has a volume of 2.6 cm3 and a mass of 1.48 g. What is the density of the charcoal?
1.8
4 Why do coal walkers successfully walk on charcoal but not on hot steam pipes?
Charcoal is low in density, so even if its hot it hasn't got much heat to transfer. basically when you touch it it cools off. A steel steam pipe is high density and has lots of energy to transfer. touching that one will give you blisters.
How many cubic feet are in 14.6 lbs of charcoal?
The conversion is impossible.You need to know the density of your charcoal.
When you burn charcoal what energy do you use?
heat
What type of energy does charcoal have?
Chemical Engery
What energy transformation takes place in a charcoal stove?
It is a chemical energy process.Charcoal (ie.carbon) is burned down to produced carbon dioxide and heat is liberated.
What is difference in energy density and power density?
Energy density is the amount of power that can be stored ( in for example capacitance) to be then consumed over time, whereas power density is how much energy is consumed quickly like the energy stored in a capacitance can be consumed very quickly.
Give one example of each form of energy below chemical?
Charcoal and Gasoline are both examples of chemical energy.
What is spectral energy density?
The energy spectral density describes how the energy (or variance) of a signal or a time series is distributed with frequency.You can read more in Wikipedia 'Spectral Density', but you will need good maths to understand it!
What do you call the amount of energy in a sound wave?
Sound energy density or sound density is the sound energy per unit volume (according to Wikipedia).
