The most common reaction producing heat is burning, in which fuel is combined with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce heat which is a form of thermal energy.
The problem of using the heat in the most efficient way possible in engines leads to the science of Thermodynamics, a branch of physics.

Is chemical energy potential energy?
Yes and no. Yes before the reaction, No after the reaction.There is potential chemical energy among constituent substances in an exothermic reaction - such as in Hydrogen and Oxygen. When the chemicals combine, the reaction liberates thermal energy that was stored as potential chemical energy before the reaction.During the chemical reaction, the potential energy is converted into thermal (and perhaps other forms, such as light) energy.After the chemical reaction, the thermal energy is disspiated, and the potential energy is gone.
If thermal energy must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is a Exothermic b Reactant c Balanced d Endothermic?
If thermal energy must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is endothermic.
What is the name of a chemical reaction that gives out energy?
A chemical reaction that produces energy is said to be exothermic. In comparison, if it consumes energy it is endothermic.
What is thermal reactions?
An Exothermal reaction is a chemical reaction that produces heat making the solution warm or hot. It is the opposite of an Endothemic reaction which makes the solution colder.
Will the temperature in a reaction always go up?
Exo- means out Endo- means in. In an Exothermic reaction thermal energy is released (goes out) and in an Endothermic reaction Thermal energy is taken up, transferring into chemical energy (goes in). So, to answer your question, no, the temperature does not go up in both an exothermic and an endothermic reaction.
What produces thermal energy?
the sun produces thermal energy
What is your reaction about thermal energy?
something about thermal energy
Is lightning a thermal energy?
No. Lightning produces thermal energy, but is actually a form of electrical energy.
What is the relationship between thermal energy and fossil fuels?
The chemical reaction caused by burning fossil fuels produces a large amount of thermal energy. This principle is the main reason that fossil fuels are obtained.
What produces thermal energy but not light energy?
Friction.
How is the way a toaster producers thermal energy different from the way a thermal pack produces thermal energy?
From my understanding, a toaster produces its thermal energy by running electricity through a high resistance wire, and as the electricity moves through this wire, it looses energy in the form of heat. Now, depending on the type of thermal pack, it's different, but most of them work by quickly oxidizing iron (with the use of catalysts) which releases energy in the form of heat during the chemical reaction.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
What is the energy transformation that produces useful energy?
Thermal energy to electrical energy
How is the thermal energy different from temperature?
Thermal energy is energy given off by a substance due to a reaction.
Melting snow produces what kind of energy?
Thermal energy absorption
Which energy source produces steam?
Thermal energy, when absorbed by water
The internal kinetic energy of molecules produces?
Thermal energy (heat)
