What chemical reaction takes place when a rocket takes off?

Answer 1

Rockets with today's technology will burn a fuel. That means that chemical energy is converted into heat; when the gases of the burning fuel get out of the rocket, the heat energy is converted into kinetic (movement) energy.

Answer 2

When a rocket takes off, a chemical reaction occurs in its engines where fuel (typically a combination of liquid oxygen and a hydrocarbon fuel like kerosene) is ignited. This combustion reaction releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and expanding gases, propelling the rocket upwards.

Answer 3

The fuel (usually Hydrogen) is oxidised as it combines with oxygen.

Answer 4

Kinetic energy, sound energy, light energy and because of light it gives off heat to so thermal energy! :)
