Question

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explains what happens to the total amount of energy in this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.
