Yes. Electricity can cause a chemical change. On the History channel they showed electricity doing something to a copper penny that made a chemical change .(don't exactly what the electricity did to it but it did cause a chemical change)

∙ 15y agoYes. This is because electricity underlies all of physics. At heart, chemical reactions are just electrical interactions, at the molecular scale.

What are considered Favorable chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions that occur spontaneously usually give off energy, usually heat.
What do chemical changes always take in or give off?
Some reactions give off heat (exothermic), others absorb heat (endothermic). All reactions increase entropy.
How is exothermic reactions related to chemical energy?
Heat energy is directly related to chemical interactions. As heat energy increases, chemical interactions also will due to the increased kinetic energy and therefore interactions of particles.
If heat must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is?
Endothermic reactions need heat. Exothermic reactions give off heat.
Why are endothermic reactions rare?
Chemical reactions occur spontaneously when the free energy of the product is less than the free energy of the reactants. Free energy is a combination of thermal energy (heat) and entropy. If thermal energy is absorbed during a reaction, there must be an exceptionally large increase in entropy to give a net reduction in free energy.
What energy do batteries give?
electrical, chemical, heat, and light energy
What are considered Favorable chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions that occur spontaneously usually give off energy, usually heat.
What energy gives off lights?
Electrical energy can be converted to light. In addition, nuclear energy as in a nuclear weapon will give off a blinding flash of light. Also, using fireflies as an example, chemical reactions can also give off light energy.
What do chemical changes always take in or give off?
Some reactions give off heat (exothermic), others absorb heat (endothermic). All reactions increase entropy.
Do chemical reactions give out energy in the form of heat light or sound?
all 3
What is the type of chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed?
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
How is exothermic reactions related to chemical energy?
Heat energy is directly related to chemical interactions. As heat energy increases, chemical interactions also will due to the increased kinetic energy and therefore interactions of particles.
Why you need a body temperature?
The human body relies on chemical reactions to turn the food you consume into energy. The food you consume also goes into the production of cells inside your body. These processed require chemical reactions. There are two chemical reactions, endothermic and exothermic. Endothermic reactions require energy. Your "body temperature" fuels these reaction as heat is a form of energy. Exothermic reactions give off energy. Your body temperature is created from this type of reaction. As your core temperature lowers, as in hypothermia, the chemical processes in your body slow down, due to the lack of energy. Eventually it reaches a point to where the processed come to a stop. At that point, your brain is no longer able to send electrical impulses to your heart.
Can energy be asorbed or released during chemical reactions?
Yes they can be either absorbed or release during chemical reactions. That is why some reactions explode or give off heat and some absorb heat making them cooler.
What chemical reactions can give off heat or what?
These chemical reactions are named exothermic.
Which form of energy is released or absorbed in most chemical reactions?
If there is any type of energy given offduring a chemical reaction, it is most likely to be heat or light. However, heat and light often come together, and there are more reactions known to give heat without light than the other way around. Thus, I would go for heat then. (simply put)
Is energy given off or required when chemical bonds are formed?
Yes because if you put something together the energy will change. Or if you put a chemical ( Any kind) It would change the energy that it 2was before. What kind of form of energy is it though!
