What is the difference between chemical energy and thermal energy?

Chemical energy is essentially potential energy, and does not require insulation to keep it from depleting to the Universe at large. Thermal energy is largely "lost" energy, somewhat between kinetic energy (some work might be able to be recovered) and entropy.


Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?

Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.


Does coal store chemical kinetic energy?

No. It stores potential chemical energy and burning it produces an exothermic reaction as it oxidises.


What energy can be transformed to kinetic chemical electrical or thermal energy?

Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic, chemical, electrical, or thermal energy depending on the system or process involved. Gravity, chemical bonds, or electrical potential can store potential energy that can be converted into various forms of energy when those bonds are broken or released.


How is thermal energy involed in chemical reactions?

Thermal energy is involved in chemical reactions by providing the necessary activation energy for the reaction to occur. Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, making them more likely to collide with enough energy to react. Additionally, some reactions are exothermic, releasing thermal energy as a byproduct.

What energy transfers in a rocket?

In a rocket, chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy through combustion to heat the propellant. This thermal energy is then transformed into kinetic energy as the expanding gases are expelled out of the rocket nozzle, producing thrust that propels the rocket forward.


Is fuel kinetic or potential?

Fuel is a form of potential energy stored in chemical bonds. When the fuel is burned, its chemical potential energy is converted into thermal energy and then into kinetic energy to power an engine or device.

What kind of energy in car engine?

Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
