When fuels are burnt first of all chemical energy changes to heat energy and sometimes to light energy as well. then we convert the heat energy into other usable forms of energy.
For example, coal is burnt in thermal power stations to produce heat which is then converted to electricity. Vehicles convert chemical energy of fuels to heat and then use this heat to do mechanical work. The process of conversion is complex in both cases.

How energy transformed when fossil fuels are used?
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.
What are the examples of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Examples of chemical energy are: the digestive process, batteries, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alcohol, fermentation, and rusting.
How do you usually obtain the energy from the fuels you use?
Energy from fuels is typically obtained through combustion, where the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen to release heat energy. This heat energy is then converted into other forms of energy, such as mechanical energy in engines or electricity in power plants.
How is the potential chemical energy of fossil fuels released?
The potential chemical energy of fossil fuels is released through the process of combustion. When fossil fuels are burned, their carbon and hydrogen components react with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water, and heat. This exothermic reaction converts the stored energy into usable forms, such as heat and mechanical energy, which can be harnessed for electricity generation, heating, or powering vehicles.
When fuels are burnt what happens to the chemical potential energy?
When fuels are burnt, the chemical potential energy in the fuels is converted into heat and light energy. Initially, such energy will be converted to heat. In a fire, part of that will be radiated away as infrared radiation or light; it is also common that the heat will increase the pressure and make things expand - which is what happens in a gasoline or diesel engine.
How do fuels transfer energy when burnt?
When fuels are burnt, chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy in the form of heat. This heat energy is then used to raise the temperature of a surrounding medium or to perform work, such as in an engine or power plant. The combustion process releases energy by breaking the chemical bonds within the fuel molecules, resulting in the production of heat and light.
What is the process of converting the chemical energy in fuels to electrical energy?
A simple answer is that fossil fuels are burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which drives mechanical turbines and dynamos, which then produce electricity.
Is kinetic energy stored by fossil fuels?
No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil fuels is what energy?
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
What energy is in food anf fuels?
chemical energy is in foods and fuels
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that originally obtained its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This organic matter stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical bonds, which is released as chemical energy when the fossil fuels are burned. So, the chemical energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the sun's energy.
What form of energy do fuels contain?
Fossil fuels contain chemical energy.
What energy does fossil fuels have?
chemical energy
What do you call the energy which is stored in chemical fuels such as petrol?
The energy stored in chemical fuels such as petrol is called chemical potential energy. This energy is released when the fuel undergoes a chemical reaction, such as combustion, which can be harnessed to do work.
What are the two forms of energy released when fuels are burnt?
Heat, and light.
What energy type does fossil fuels have?
chemical energy
