Well think, if you burn a piece of paper, then energy is involved. Chemical energy is taking place when you burn a piece of paper. However, two more types of energy are also taking place. Thermal and radiant energy are also taking place because the fire burning the paper creates light (radiant energy) and it also gives off heat (thermal energy).

What is the different between cellular respiration and getting energy from a log by burning it?
When a log is burning, it burns energy quickly; and when cellular respiration happens, it burns energy gradually.
What energy is released as wax burns?
Thermal or Heat energy
Which paper burns faster colored paper computer paper or white paper?
no, but if you but oil on it or gas that's another story
Why do the nuts heat the water?
Because of the chemical energy stored in the nut, the heat burns it and as the chemical energy burns out, the fire on the nut will start to burn out.
Why does hard paper burn so slowly?
All i know is that colored paper burns the slowest
What are the two main forms of energy given off when burns and where does the energy come from?
heat and light and it comes from the reaction of the paper material and its combustion in the air.

heat and light and it comes from the reaction of the paper material and its combustion in the air.
What are the two main types of energy given off when paper burns?
Heat, light.
A process that converts chemical energy into thermal energy?
When something burns is how chemical energy turns into thermal energy like getting a lighter and burning paper.

You need a good explanation for this question What burns faster paper wood or cardboard?
Paper burns faster as there is less mass to burn and less energy in paper, If it were wood, due to the mass of the wood it would burn Longer and brighter and less lengthened and less brighter for Cardboard.
When paper burns in a fire what is a reactant?
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
When a paper is burned what type of energy is that and where does it come from?
Chemical energy changes to thermal and radiant energy (heat and light).

When a log is burning, it burns energy quickly; and when cellular respiration happens, it burns energy gradually.
Why is paper flammable?
Paper burns easily because since it used to be made of plants, it contains the chemicals of it, which plants had cellulose, which was their sugar (food), and it burns easily. Even when the plant is first set on fire, it still releases energy. When paper is made, the structure is different, but the chemicals remain.
Is paper burning with a bright flame a reaction of exothermic or endothermic?
When a piece of paper burns, the energy stored within the fibers of the paper is released as heat energy. This exergonic reaction produces more energy than it takes to perform.
