YES!!! DEinitely!!!!!
By the simple fact that the car engine becomes hot, when the engine is running (burning petrol).
Petrol is a hydrovarbon. When combusted in a car engine, it is a chemical reaction between the hydrocarbon (petrol) and oxygen(air). This chemical reaction is exothermic, ( releases energy/heat). This release of energy is done in a very small space, hence the hot expanding gases push the piston down, and thereby mechanically move the car.
The heat energy that you feel is waste energy. However, this 'waste' energy is used to heat the car interior.
Here is a chemical word equation
hydrocarbon + air =electric spark-> Carbon dioxide + Water.
Hope that helps!!!!!
What else can I help you with?
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic or endothermic?
Burning petrol in a car engine is an exothermic process because it releases heat energy. The combustion of petrol with oxygen produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat as byproducts, which powers the engine.
Is car burning gasonline exothermic?
Yes, burning gasoline in a car engine is exothermic because it releases energy in the form of heat and light. The combustion reaction between gasoline and oxygen results in the release of heat and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
What are two examples of chemical energy?
Two examples of chemical energy are gasoline in a car's fuel tank, which powers the engine through combustion, and food that is digested by the body, releasing energy for cellular processes.
Is combustion exothermic?
'Exothermic' means to give out energy (heat). So combusting anything such as petrol/gasoline in a car engine is exothermic because it feels hot(heat) after while. In the lab. a lit Bunsen Burner is exothermic , because you are combusting a gas to make heat (energy).
Example of exothermic?
When concrete cures it warms up. Those hand warmers that heat up when they are opened up are exothermic. Desiccants when exposed to a lot off water.
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic or endothermic?
Burning petrol in a car engine is an exothermic process because it releases heat energy. The combustion of petrol with oxygen produces carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat as byproducts, which powers the engine.
Does it affect the car if you put either unleaded or leaded petrol in a car?
It can effect engine performance and fuel burning efficiency.
How is protien like a car engine?
By burning up protein you get energy. Just like engines use petrol.
What engine uses a spark plug to ignite a compressed air-gas mixture?
A spark ignition engine, like your average gasoline/petrol burning car engine.
Why is it harmful to put petrol in a car engine?
Who told you it is harmful? It is only harmful if it is a Diesel engine. If it is a petrol (gasoline) engine then Petrol is what it takes to run.
Will putting petrol in a diesel engine car and starting it damage the car?
Yes, putting petrol/gasoline in a diesel engine and running it will cause severe damage to the engine.
What causes car to catch fire?
over heated or burning petrol
What does a car run on?
A car runs on diesel or petrol depends on the engine of the car
How is oxygen formed in a car engine?
Oxygen and petrol or diesel is burned in a car engine, it is not formed
Why do cars need petrol?
if cars do not have petrol they will not work because petrol burns in the engine and the car moves forward
Is it useful or harmful reaction when Petrol is used in car engine?
Petrol is British name for Gasoline
In a petrol car engine what serves no purpose but without it the engine does not work?
gas
