Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The two forms of energy that are involved during the conversion of water to steam by burning coal are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(b)
Interpretation:
The two forms of energy that are involved when steam drives a turbine are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(c)
Interpretation:
The two forms of energy that are involved when a turbine turns a generator are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.
(d)
Interpretation:
The two forms of energy that are involved when a generator makes electricity are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Energy is the capacity to do work. The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another.” The total energy of the universe is constant.

- If thermal energy is added to a liquid, the following changes occurs.arrow_forwardIdentify two forms of energy that are involved in each of the following energy conversions relating to an automobile. (a) lead–acid battery making electricity (b) electricity turning a starter motor (c) starter motor turning a flywheel (d) gasoline exploding into hot gasesarrow_forwardWhen sodium combines with water, sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are formed. This is described as ? It is a physical change. It is a homogeneous property. It is a chemical property. It is a physical property.arrow_forward
- Which of the following represents a chemical change?arrow_forwardAll molecules attract each other to some extent, and the attraction decreases as the distance between particles increases. Base on this idea, which state of matter would you expect has the stronges interaction between particles: solid, liquid or gasses?arrow_forwardclassify whether it is greater than, less than, or equal to.arrow_forward
