A wood log burning in a fireplace what kind of energy is taking place?
Stored Chemical energy being converted to, and released as Heat energy.
Burning of wood what transformation of energy is it?
When wood burns, chemical energy is transformed into heat
Can you give an example of embers in a sentence?
By midnight, the wood in the fireplace had burned to embers.
Does all wood burn?
Except for petrified wood (wood that has turned to stone) all wood will burn. Some burns easier than others, some gives off more heat, and some woods are poisonous, and should not be burned- but all wood is capable of burning.
What kind of energy is burning wood?
Wood is stored energy. The energy from the sun and water and carbon dioxide from the environment has been converted by a plant by photosynthesis into complex starches such as cellulose. These starches can be converted back into energy by various processes, including: * digestion * combustion.
What are the two types of energy which are released when fuels are burned?
ash and wood
What energy transformations takes place when wood is burned?
Well the energy transformation that takes place when wood is burned is CHEMICAL ENERGY---> THERMAL ENERGY.
When wood is burned energy is released in the forms of heat and light Describe the reaction and explain why this change does not violate the law of conservation of energy?
when wood is burned, it undergoes a chemical change. the fuel is being oxidized and turned into ash and water vapor. as the flame is lit and set to the wood, energy is being transferred from the match to the log. as the log catches, it oxidizes or "burns" converting its potential chemical energy into heat and gives off radiation in the form of light. therefore no energy is being created or lost, only converted.
How can forest be used as energy source?
The wood can be burned in a fire.
An example of something that stroes chemical energy is?
A battery stores chemical energy which can be converted to electrical energy on demand. Any fuel (gasoline, wood,fuel oil, etc) stores chemical energy which is released as heat when burned.
Can forest be used as an energy?
Yes, the trees can be cut down and burned, releasing the energy stored in the wood.
What happens to the energy when its released when firewood is burned?
when the wood burns, chemical reactions occur that change chemical potential energy into thermal energy and light enery. Well, the released energy just simply turns into thermal and light enery.
Wood coal oil and natural gas are forms of?
kinetic Energy
What is a piece of burned wood or partly burned wood as in a fireplace?
charcoal
What indoor pollutant is colorless odorless gas that forms when wood coal oil or gas are incompletely burned?
Carbon Monoxide.
What do termit eat?
Termites eat wood, clothes, and even your furniture.termites eats wood,clothes,furnitures,and etc.I found this on Wikipedia:All termites eat cellulose in its various forms as plant fibre. Cellulose is a rich energy source (as demonstrated by the amount of energy released when wood is burned), but remains difficult to digest.However: Termites are one of those insects with a garden. They actually grow some kind of fungus inside their homes. A program I saw on National Geographic told that This fungus was their primary diet.
How does the energy from a wood fire actually come from the sun?
light (sun) ----> photosynthesis (chemical energy) mechanical energy ----> cut down the tree work ----> move the tree store chemical energy from sun ----> light so basically photosynthesis gives the tree chemical energy, and when it is burned, the chemical energy is released causing light.
