Consider the generic chemical equation below. X + Ymc021-1.jpg W + Z Reactant X contains 199.3 J of chemical energy. Reactant Y contains 272.3 J of chemical energy. Product W contains 41.9 J of chemical energy. If the reaction loses 111.6 J of chemical energy as it proceeds, how much chemical energy must product Z contain? 318.1 J 429.7 J 541.3 J 625.1 J

318.1 J

A welding torch produces a flame by burning acetylene fuel in the presence of oxygen. The energy released from the acetylene fuel is then used to melt a metal. Which energy transformation happens during this process? Chemical energy turns into thermal energy. Kinetic energy turns into potential energy. Thermal energy turns into electromagnetic energy. Potential energy turns into chemical energy.

Chemical energy turns into thermal energy.

Chemical energy in burning wood is changed into thermal energy. The thermal energy is absorbed by water, which boils to produce steam. The thermal energy is changed into kinetic energy in the moving steam. The kinetic energy is used to turn a turbine, which converts the kinetic energy into electricity. Which sentence best describes this system? It involves only energy transfer. It involves only energy transformation. It involves both energy transformation and energy transfer. It does not involve either energy transformation or energy transfer.

It involves both energy transformation and energy transfer.

A generator contains a coil that spins to produce an electric current. How is energy transformed by using a generator? Thermal energy is transformed to potential energy. Thermal energy is transformed to mechanical energy. Chemical energy is transformed to electromagnetic energy. Mechanical energy is transformed to electromagnetic energy.

Mechanical energy is transformed to electromagnetic energy.

An arrow is fired by a person on the ground 15 feet away from a target 20 feet high on a wall. Which statement correctly describes the change in the energy of the arrow as it moves toward the target? The potential energy and kinetic energy remain the same. The potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases. The kinetic energy decreases as potential energy increases. The kinetic energy remains at zero, but potential energy increases.

The kinetic energy decreases as potential energy increases.

Consider the following generic chemical equation: A + B → C + D Reactant A contains 85.1 J of chemical energy. Reactant B contains 87.9 J of chemical energy. Product C contains 38.7 J of chemical energy. If the reaction absorbs 104.3 J of chemical energy as it proceeds, how much chemical energy must product D contain? Explain your answer.

Which of these did you include in your answer? The law of conservation of energy states that energy is not created or destroyed during chemical reactions. The total amount of energy in the reactants, plus the energy absorbed during the reaction, must be equal to the total energy of the products. Product D contains (85.1 J + 87.9 J + 104.3 J) - 38.7 J = 238.6 J of chemical energy.

Describe the energy transfers and transformations that occur when a person rides a bicycle. Make sure to identify each example as an energy transfer or an energy transformation.

Which of these did you include in your answer? chemical energy transformed to kinetic energy in muscles and/or body kinetic energy transferred from legs to pedals kinetic energy transferred from pedals to wheels kinetic energy transformed to thermal energy due to friction (wheels get warm) chemical energy transformed to thermal energy in muscles
