What else can I help you with?
What do you call the energy which is stored in chemical fuels such as petrol?
The energy stored in chemical fuels such as petrol is called chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction, such as combustion, which can be harnessed to do work.
Is combustion of fossil fuels a exergonic or a endergonic reaction?
The combustion of fossil fuels is an exergonic reaction, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat and light. This is because the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the fuels is converted into thermal and radiant energy during the combustion process.
What are substances that provide energy as the result of a chemical change?
These substances are called reactants, the reaction produces products. This type of reaction is called exothermic. As in the following reaction with the burning of methane: CH4 +2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O (reactants) (products)
What is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
What is an example of a chemical reaction that releases energy?
One example of a chemical reaction that releases energy is the combustion of methane gas (CH4) in the presence of oxygen. This reaction produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) along with a significant amount of heat and light energy.
Which fuels release chemical energy?
Fuels such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and coal release chemical energy when they undergo combustion reactions. This chemical energy is then converted into heat or mechanical energy to perform work.
Why alternative fuels called Green Energy?
they produce energy in a more environmentally friendly way then fossil fuels do
How do you usually obtain the energy from the fuels you use?
Energy from fuels is typically obtained through combustion, where the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen to release heat energy. This heat energy is then converted into other forms of energy, such as mechanical energy in engines or electricity in power plants.
What are resources that are not fossil fuels called?
The resources that are non fossil fuels are called unlimited resources.
What is production of heat energy by burning fuels?
The production of heat energy by burning fuels is a chemical reaction called combustion. During combustion, the bonds in the fuel molecules break, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. This process is commonly used in engines, furnaces, and power plants to generate heat and electricity.
A chemical reaction that releases energy is called?
Exothermic reactions
When fuels are used how is energy transformed?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
