Coal is normally burned to produce heat. This is done by burning the coal with oxygen from the atmosphere. The process unites carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and the formation of the chemical bonds in this process releases energy as heat.
Burning one ton of coal creates about 3 tons of carbon dioxide. The additional mass comes from the oxygen taken from the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why is coal used for electricity?
When coal burns, it produces heat. This can be converted to other forms of energy.
Is in unburned lump of coal Kendrick energy or potential?
In an unburned lump of coal, the energy is in potential form. When coal is burned, its chemical energy is converted into heat and other forms of energy.
What is burnt to release energy?
Fuel sources such as wood, coal, oil, and gas are burnt to release energy. The burning process generates heat that can be converted into other forms of energy, such as electricity or mechanical energy.
What form of energy is stored in coal?
The energy stored in coal that is converted to heat is chemical energy. Of course coal, like any other matter, also has stored nuclear energy.
When coal is burned energy is being converted to energy?
When coal is burned, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
What natural resource can be converted by humans into forms of energy in order to do useful things?
How about coal, oil, natural gas, uranium
When Coal is burning energy is being converted to energy?
When coal is burning, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into heat energy and light energy. The heat energy is used to generate steam that drives turbines, which then converts the energy into electrical energy.
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as?
The energy in petroleum and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when these substances are burned, producing heat and other forms of energy.
When coal is burned this energy is converted into what energy?
Coke is formed
What is a natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work?
One example of a natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work is coal. Coal can be burned to produce heat energy, which can then be used to generate electricity in power plants and power various machines.
True or false potential energy is energy that is stored or is available for use by a body for example coal has potential energy that is released only when it is burned?
True. Potential energy is indeed energy that is stored within an object or substance, and can be converted into other forms of energy to perform work. In the case of coal, its potential energy is released in the form of heat and light when it is burned as a fuel source.
What form of energy does coal make?
Energy cannot be 'made' or 'destroyed'. It can simply be transformed to a different type of energy. Coal contains chemical energy, which will for example, be converted to heat energy in say a coal fired industrial boiler.
