Which type of reaction is the burning of gasoline to release heat energy?
Rascal77
Exothermic reactions release heat into the system, ie. heat is a product of the reaction and thus the products have less energy than the reactants and the change in enthalpy is negative.
Exothermic reactions release heat. Like potassium into water

Does burning petrol release energy?
Petrol is a fossil fuel made from crude oil and burning fossil fuels produce energy so yes burning petrol does release energy.
Is a cars gasoline mileage affected when the accessories are being used and why?
Yes, because its still burning energy.
What happens when gasoline is turned into energy?
Gasoline is not turned into energy. When we burn gasoline, it reacts with oxygen, breaking down and combining with it to become water vapor, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. As this happens, energy stored in the chemical bonds is released. The new bonds in the products of this reaction do not contain as much energy.
How do you release the energy in crude oil?
Usually by burning it.
What is burned in thermonuclear fusion?
Nothing is burned in any nuclear process; burning implies combustion, and this is only a chemical reaction. Fusion involves the combination of two nuclei into one, with the release of some energy.
Which type reaction is the burning of gasoline to release energy?
an exothermic reaction
Which type of reaction the burning of gasoline to release heat energy?
an exothermic reaction
What produced in a gasoline engine other than mechanical energy?
Water is created in the chemical reaction of gasoline 'oxidizing' (burning).
Why is gasoline a chemical energy?
Gasoline is a combination of several hydrocarbons which when oxidized (chemical reaction) release heat energy.
Why is wood burning chemical energy?
how chemical energy produce in firewood useful
Gasoline is an example of energy released by changes?
Gasoline is an example of energy being released by and exothermic reaction. Which is caused by the breaking of bonds and the creation of new bonds which use a lesser energy to form than the energy release by the previous bonds.
How is chemical energy stored in coal released?
Burning of coal is an exothermic chemical reaction (with release of heat).
Does gasoline create electricity?
Nothing "creates" energy. The chemical energy in gasoline can be converted to electrical energy by burning the gasoline in an internal combustion engine that's connected to a generator.
What types of energy transformation are occurring when a car is burning gasoline?
Chemical energy to mechanical energy
Is burning of coal in which energy is liberated an exothermic reaction?
Yes burning of coal is an exothermic reaction because energy is released in this process in the form of heat and light.
Why gasoline considered as chemical energy?
It is not. Gasoline is not energy. Rather, it HAS energy.If gasoline is burned or otherwise combines with oxygen, energy is released. This type of energy (related to how atoms are connected with one another) is called "chemical energy".
Why is the reaction between methane and oxygen exothermic?
Burning release heat, the molecular structure of methane is destroyed and the bonding energy is released.
