Where does energy come from when a gas stove burns natural gas?

When a gas stove burns natural gas, the energy is derived from the combustion of the natural gas. When the gas combines with oxygen and ignites, it releases heat energy that is used to cook food or heat the surroundings.


What form of energy does a gas stove release?

A gas stove releases thermal energy when natural gas is burned in the presence of oxygen to produce heat.


Is a stove chemical energy?

The stove itself is not but if it is a wood burning stove, when it is used, the conversion of wood into heat is the conversion of chemical into thermal energy


What temp does a natural gas stove burn at?

A natural gas stove typically burns at a temperature between 500°F and 900°F, depending on the setting.


What energy is gas on stove?

The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air. The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed. Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.


What kind of energy does a gas stove use?

A gas stove uses natural gas or propane.


What tye of energy takes place when kerosene stove is light?

The energy that takes place when a kerosene stove is lit is chemical energy. This is because the combustion of kerosene with oxygen releases energy in the form of heat and light.


What forms of energy is produced when a gas stove is turned on?

When a gas stove is turned on, chemical energy in the form of natural gas is converted to thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy heats up the stove's elements and transfers heat energy to cookware and food.


Why does the flame of a gas stove emit light?

The flame of a gas stove emits light because of the process of combustion. When the gas (such as propane or natural gas) burns, it produces heat and light as a result of the chemical reaction between the gas and oxygen in the air. The light emitted is due to the incandescence of the hot particles in the flame.


Is is a physical or chemical change when natural gas burns in a stove?

Natural gas, gasoline, fuel oil, coal, and LPG burning are all chemical reactions ( chemical changes ). The reactants ( fuel and oxygen ) react yielding primarily CO2 and H2O., which are different chemical species than the reactants.


Can energy be released when matter can it be absorbed can a change in matter in matter take place in which energy is neither released nor absorbed?

Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.


When a gas stove burns propane gas to cook food what energy transformation is taking place?

The propane gas is being chemically converted to heat energy during the combustion process in the gas stove. This heat energy is then used to cook the food, resulting in a transformation from chemical energy to thermal energy.
