What form of energy is generated when gasoline is burned in a car engine and the car moves?
kinetic energy is created
Is gasoline matter or energy?
gasoline is matter, it is burned to create energy
What new is formed when gasoline is burned?
energy for electronics
When fuels are burned they transfer energy what type of energy is in the fuel and what energy is it converted into when its burned?
The energy that is contained in a consumable fuel (like gasoline) is chemical energy. The energy that it is converted into when it is burned is heat energy.
When gasoline is burned in a car engine what energy is converted into another energy?
Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy
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.
Why gasoline considered as chemical energy?
It is not. Gasoline is not energy. Rather, it HAS energy.If gasoline is burned or otherwise combines with oxygen, energy is released. This type of energy (related to how atoms are connected with one another) is called "chemical energy".
What does burning gasoline change chemical energy into?
The chemical energy becomes heat energy when the gasoline is burned. Oxidation releases chemical energy stored in the carbon-carbon bonds of fossil fuels and in the diatomic bonds of O2.
What is chemical energy converted in a car?
The chemical energy is stored in the fuel, ie gasoline or diesel, and released when it is burned in the engine.
Most of the chemical energy of the gasoline burned in a car is not used to move the car but is changed into what?
Heat energy is mostly produced - and wasted.
Most of the chemical energy of the gasoline burned in a car is not used to move the car but is changed into?
Heat (from friction)
When does gasoline gives off energy?
gasoline is a fuel. It produces energy when the fuel is burned. In your car the spark makes tiny explosions which drive engine pistons up and down, thus moving your car.
