When fuel is consumed most of the energy is changed into what?
Hydrocarbons
What energy has fuel got?
It depends on what fuel you are talking about. For nuclear energy, the energy comes from binding energy released when atoms are fissioned or (less commonly) fused.
Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in a form of kinetic energy when burned?
Potential
When fossil fuels are burned how is most of the energy released?
Fossil fuel molecules have energy in the form of chemical bonds holding the atoms together. When burning, some energy is used to break these bonds. Oxygen the combines with the atoms of the fuel forming bonds with less energy. The difference in the energy of the old bonds and the new bonds is released as both heat and light. Most of the energy is released as heat.
What is the energy called stored in food or fuel?
in food there are calories which is the amount of energy the food has. in fuel there is no actual name for the energy because there are so many measurements of energy, and that includes calories.
Is water vapor to ice consumed or released energy?
consumed
When fuel is consumed most of the energy is changed into what?
Hydrocarbons
When covalent bonds are broken energy is released?
No, energy is consumed.
What is a use of a fuel?
A fuel is any substance that can be consumed to produce energy.
Is nuclear fusion a nonrenewable energy?
yes, once the fuel is consumed the reaction ends.
What do you think happens to the rest of the energy from the consumed organism?
released as heat
What kind of energy is released when fuel is burned?
Chemical Energy is what is released.
What are two indicators that a combustion reaction has occurred?
energy is released and oxygen is consumed
What kind of energy does fuel contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical potential energy, which is released as thermal energy when they burn. Nuclear fuel which can undergo fission contains energy by virtue of the change of mass which occurs when the nucleus is split into fragments, initially this is released as kinetic energy which is absorbed in the fuel and released as thermal energy.
What happens when elements join?
Chemical bonds form, creating compounds. In some cases energy is released, in others energy is consumed.
What energy has fuel got?
It depends on what fuel you are talking about. For nuclear energy, the energy comes from binding energy released when atoms are fissioned or (less commonly) fused.
When energy stored in fossil fuel its released by?
combustion
