What type of energy does a container of gasoline have?
The chemical energy stored in the gasoline. Or more precisely, the gasoline and oxygen in the air, separately, have more energy than after they combine.
What happens when gasoline is turned into energy?
Gasoline is not turned into energy. When we burn gasoline, it reacts with oxygen, breaking down and combining with it to become water vapor, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. As this happens, energy stored in the chemical bonds is released. The new bonds in the products of this reaction do not contain as much energy.
How does the amount of work done on an automobile by its engine relate to the energy content of the gasoline?
Energy conversion is the changing of one form of energy into another or into work, such as that in the combustion process.
How is energy stored?
Electrical energy can be stored in a lead acid battery, it can also be stored by pumping water up to a high reservoir, from which it can be released later to produce electricity. Mechanical energy can be stored in a large flywheel. Energy can be stored in elastic material. Thermal energy can be stored in an insulated block of high heat capacity material. Potential gravitational energy can be stored in a reservoir or lake, to be used later for hydro power. Fossil fuels are stores of chemical energy, and uranium is a store of nuclear energy. some examples are a ball,candybar,rubber band,and gasoline
Explain why all the stored energy in gasoline does not transform to mechanical energy of a vehicle?
In many processes, part of the energy is lost - in the sense of getting converted into an unusable form of energy. This is no exception. Specifically, when a substance is burned - in this case the gasoline - the chemical energy is converted to heat energy, which is a "lower grade" type of energy. That is to say, it is no longer possible to convert all the heat into other types of energy.
Which type of energy is stored in gasoline?
Chemical energy.
Can chemical energy be stored in gasoline?
Yes, Chemical energy can also be stored in food
What does gasoline do?
Gasoline has a lot of stored energy which can power vehiclesand otherelectricalitems
What type of energy does a container of gasoline have?
The chemical energy stored in the gasoline. Or more precisely, the gasoline and oxygen in the air, separately, have more energy than after they combine.
What form of energy stored in a gasoline and rock fuel?
chemical energy
An example of stored chemical energy?
gasoline battery
Potential energy is stored in the gasoline?
Yes. Chemical energy is a type of potential energy.
What energy in is gasoline?
There is a total of 32 megajoules of chemical energy stored in each liter of gasoline. (can vary depending on the exact composition.)
What energy is gasoline?
There is a total of 32 megajoules of chemical energy stored in each liter of gasoline. (can vary depending on the exact composition.)
Is chemical energy stored in a car?
Yes. There is chemical energy in both the gasoline and in the battery.
What type of energy is energy stored in gasoline?
Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons. As gas is burned, the compounds are broken down into simplier compounds and the breaking of these compounds releases energy.
List three forms of stored energy?
A guess: glucose, gasoline, water stored behind the Hoover Dam.
