Gas contains potential chemical energy because it contains carbon and hydrogen. Both these elements can react with oxygen taken from the air to produced carbon dioxide, water vapour and a lot of heat. The heat can be used to drive a heat engine (usually a turbine), either directly or via water boiled into steam.

Plants need this gas for photosynthesis?

Plants take in carbon dioxide and, through photosynthesis, produce oxygen.


What plant is electricity made in?

Electricity is not made in plants. Most electricity is generated in power plants using a variety of sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy. Plants utilize photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy, but they do not produce electricity.


What chemical must be transformed by plants?

Carbon dioxide must be transformed by plants through the process of photosynthesis to produce oxygen and glucose, which serves as a source of energy for the plant.


What type of gas do plants in greenhouse use?

Plants in a greenhouse use carbon dioxide gas during photosynthesis to produce oxygen and energy for growth.


What appliances uses chemical energy?

Some appliances that use chemical energy include gas stoves (burning natural gas to produce heat for cooking), gas water heaters (burning natural gas to heat water), and batteries (converting chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices).


Two that produce the most energy?

Nuclear and fossil fuel power plants are currently the two energy sources that produce the most energy. Nuclear power plants rely on nuclear reactions to generate electricity, while fossil fuel power plants burn coal, oil, or natural gas to produce electricity.


Is photosynthesis in leaves a chemical or physical change?

Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction. Using Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, plants can produce high energy sugars and oxygen. Here is the formula:Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 ----> C6H12O6, 6O2


Is gas in a gas tank chemical energy?

Yes, the gas in a gas tank is a form of chemical energy. This energy is released when the gas is burned in the engine, converting the chemical energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.

Which energy source is made from plants?

Question is a little vaguely worded - so there are two ways of looking at it.Plants produce chemical energy from sunlight, water and basic minerals.Sources of energy derived from plant materials includes:wood, charcoal, coal, natural gas and oil


What gases are produced and consumed during photosynthesis in plants?

carbon dioxide is consumed and oxygen is produced


How is energy transformed into power plants?

In power plants, energy is typically transformed into electricity through a process called electricity generation. This process usually involves burning fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, to heat water and produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
