Answer:

Coal contains chemical potential energy

Explanation:

Chemical species are known to contain chemical energy. Chemical energy is contained in chemical bonds in a chemical substance.

Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy contained in chemical bonds can be transformed from one form to another. Coal contains chemical energy.

One of the ways of generating electricity is the combination of fossil fuels. This involves the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy. The steam produced is used to turn a turbine. The turning off the turbine implies a conversion of heat to mechanical energy. The turning of the turbine now produces electrical energy.

Which of the following equations has the correct products and is balanced correctly for a reaction between Na3PO4 and KOH?
ASHA 777 [7]

The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.  

Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.  

KOH is potassium hydroxide.  

NaOH is sodium hydroxide.  

K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.  

According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
