Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
yes
Is the energy to power a computer called Chemical energy?
No, the energy that powers a computer is electrical energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in the bonds of molecules. Batteries, candles, matches and food are some things that have chemical energy. When the molecules/compounds' bonds are broken, the chemical energy is released. In a candle, this would cause a small fire. Electrical energy is the movement of electrons. The electrons move quickly inside the wire, & power the computer as electricity.
Which resources do coal power stations use?
Coal power stations use many different resources as a steam kettle, electrity and turbines.
Why are waste gasses from coal-fired power stations passed through calcium carbonate?
In the main the gas released is Sulphur and Carbon monoxide and this is filtered out by the Calcium
What power stations produce CO2?
Coal fired power plants,Petroleum power plants,
When you burn fuels in power stations what chemical is released?
It really depends on what the people are burning it can range from oxygen to carbon monoxide
What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
How do solar power stations work?
Solar power stations work by using a series of solar cells to convert energy from the Sun into electricity. It is then stored in batteries or transferred to the power grid.
Whats inside a battery?
Inside a battery, stored chemical energy is released as electric energy which can then power devices. This energy is stored in different ways in different types of batteries.
Where is energy stored in batteries?
Within a battery, energy is stored as chemical energy. When the battery is attached there is a chemical reaction happening inside having to do with a flow of electrons that gives the battery the power to make something work.
What is energy stored for use at a later time?
In current nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is released when U235 undergoes fission. This energy is not stored, it is used as soon as it is released, to produce electricity.
Who made energy and power?
energy and power are not made they are converted into other forms of energy or stored as chemical bond
Is chemical energy stored in chemical bonds?
Energy is released when a chemical bond is created between two atoms.Energy is stored when the bond is broken.CHEMICAL ENERGY IS ENERGY STORED IN BONDS IN A BODY OR SYSTEM AND IS RELEASED DURING A CHEMICAL REACTION EG. IN A CAR BATTERY, FOOD, FUELNo, chemical potential energy is not stored in chemical bonds. Chemical potential energy is the potential to form bonds. It lies in the absence of bonds. Sometimes it is necessary to break an existing bond before forming a new bond, but breaking the existing bond consumes energy. Forming the new bond releases energy.
How is energy stored in nuclear power?
Energy produced by nuclear power cannot be stored, it has to be used as soon as it is produced. This is done by producing steam from the thermal energy released and using this in a conventional power plant
How is solar energy stored and how it is released?
Solar energy is most commonly stored in batteries, depending on when it is going to be used. However, if it's not stored, it is used, or released, right away into the power grid to be used as normal electricty.
A car uses stored chemical energy in gasoline to move. The engine changes chemical energy into heat and energy to power the car.?
Yes, that's right
How do you reduce air pollution from power stations?
Air pollution from power stations can be reduced by ensuring that the effluents are purified before being released into the air. Carbon emissions from a coal station can go through a cleaning process to remove heavy metals from the smog before it is released.
