The most common reaction producing heat is burning, in which fuel is combined with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce heat which is a form of thermal energy.

The problem of using the heat in the most efficient way possible in engines leads to the science of Thermodynamics, a branch of physics.

If thermal energy must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is a Exothermic b Reactant c Balanced d Endothermic?

If thermal energy must be added to a chemical reaction for the reaction to take place the reaction is endothermic.


What is the name of a chemical reaction that gives out energy?

A chemical reaction that produces energy is said to be exothermic. In comparison, if it consumes energy it is endothermic.


What is thermal reactions?

An Exothermal reaction is a chemical reaction that produces heat making the solution warm or hot. It is the opposite of an Endothemic reaction which makes the solution colder.


Is chemical energy potential energy?

Yes and no. Yes before the reaction, No after the reaction.There is potential chemical energy among constituent substances in an exothermic reaction - such as in Hydrogen and Oxygen. When the chemicals combine, the reaction liberates thermal energy that was stored as potential chemical energy before the reaction.During the chemical reaction, the potential energy is converted into thermal (and perhaps other forms, such as light) energy.After the chemical reaction, the thermal energy is disspiated, and the potential energy is gone.


How is the stored chemical energy transformed into thermal energy at point D?

The stored chemical energy is converted into thermal energy at point D through combustion. When the stored energy is released through combustion, it produces heat as a byproduct which raises the temperature of the surroundings. This thermal energy can then be utilized for various applications.

How is the way a toaster producers thermal energy different from the way a thermal pack produces thermal energy?

From my understanding, a toaster produces its thermal energy by running electricity through a high resistance wire, and as the electricity moves through this wire, it looses energy in the form of heat. Now, depending on the type of thermal pack, it's different, but most of them work by quickly oxidizing iron (with the use of catalysts) which releases energy in the form of heat during the chemical reaction.

Is oil geothermal energy?

yes because oil produces thermal energy


How can you track thermal energy during a chemical reaction?

One way to track thermal energy during a chemical reaction is by using a device called a calorimeter. A calorimeter measures the heat released or absorbed during a reaction, allowing you to track the changes in thermal energy.


What produces thermal energy?

Thermal energy is produced by the vibration and movement of atoms and molecules within an object or substance. This movement generates heat, which is then transferred to other objects through conduction, convection, or radiation. Thermal energy can also be generated through chemical reactions, such as combustion.
