To get ANYTHING done, SOME type of energy is required. Specifically, our bodies have evolved to use the chemical energy in the food we eat. Other types of energy can help us (if you keep warm, you need less food), but won't work as our main energy source, simply because we are not built to handle it.
What else can I help you with?
How is energy from chemical energy released and transferred into thermal energy?
Chemical compounds, like oil or coal, hold potential chemical energy in the powerful molecular bonds with the compound. If such a chemical compound undergoes a chemical reaction (in this case in an internal combustion engine), the potential chemical energy will be released in the form of thermal energy. Of course, no energy transformation is 100% efficient as some of the potential chemical energy is either not converted at all or converted into a different form of energy. Take the example of a fire in one's fire place. Although a large percentage of the potential chemical energy in the wood is converted into thermal energy that we can feel as heat, some of the energy is converted into light, that we can see as the brightness of the fire, and some is converted into sounds, as we can hear in the roaring of the fire.
Does it take energy to form chemical bonds?
Yes, it takes energy to form chemical bonds.
What is the basis of all chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions are based on the interactions between atoms and molecules, specifically the rearrangement of chemical bonds. These interactions involve breaking existing bonds and forming new ones, resulting in the transformation of reactants into products with different chemical properties.
Different chemical reactions take different amounts of what?
Energy. Different chemical reactions require different amounts of energy to occur, which can affect the speed and extent of the reaction.
What two kinds of energy changes can take place during a chemical reaction?
Two types of energy changes that can occur in a chemical reaction are (1) endothermic and (2) exothermic. Endothermic is where energy is added to the system and exothermic is where energy is given off by the system.
What forms can take energy?
Energy has many forms. The energy that is stored in the position or the structure of an object is called potential energy . There are many forms that potential energy can take. Chemical potential energy , elastic potential energy, and gravitational potential energy.
How do decomposed obtain energy?
They obtain energy in much the same way as people do. They take organic matter called detritus, and take the chemical potential energy out of it.
What energy transformation takes place in solar impulse?
What energy transformations take place in:
What forms can energy take on?
Energy can take on various forms such as kinetic (motion), potential (stored), thermal (heat), radiant (light), chemical (stored in bonds between atoms), nuclear (from atomic reactions), and electrical (flow of electrons). These different forms can be converted from one to another, following the laws of physics.
Is ethanol potential or kinetic?
Ethanol is a chemical compound and therefore does not have kinetic or potential energy itself. However, when ethanol is burned as a fuel, it releases energy in the form of heat, which is a form of kinetic energy.
What is potantail energy?
Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or state. It is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Potential energy can take different forms, such as gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, or chemical potential energy.
What the names of three energy take place when a car engine burns gasoline?
Potential, then chemical, then mechanical.
Energy is the ability to produce what?
Energy is the ability to produce work or to cause a change in a system. It can take various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, or chemical energy.

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a battery is connected to a light bulb in a series circuit?
The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.
What type of energy changes take place when a candle burns?
When a candle burns, the chemical potential energy stored in the wax is converted into heat and light energy through the process of combustion. The heat energy generated causes the surrounding air to warm up, while the light energy is emitted as a visible flame.
What is the difference between water potential and chemical potential of water?
Water potential is a measure of the potential energy of water molecules due to their concentration and pressure differences, while chemical potential of water specifically refers to the potential energy of water molecules due to their chemical composition and interactions with other substances. Water potential takes into account both pressure and solute concentrations, while chemical potential focuses on the specific chemical interactions of water molecules.
