Question

Which statement describes the energy changes that occur when water in a kettle is heated on a stove that uses natural gas ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is option A

A)Some of the chemical energy in natural gas transforms into thermal energy, which heats the water. Then some of the thermal energy changes into sound energy when the water forms steam and the steam leaves the kettle.

Which statement describes the energy changes that occur when water in a tea kettle is heated on a stove that uses natural gas?

A)Some of the chemical energy in the natural gas transforms into thermal energy, which heats the water. Then some of the thermal energy changes into sound energy when the water forms steam and the steam leaves the kettle.

B)Some of the thermal energy in the natural gas transforms into sound energy when the water becomes hot. Then some of the sound energy changes into light energy when the kettle becomes warm.

C)Some of the electrical energy in the natural gas transforms into thermal energy, which causes the water to form steam. Then some of the thermal energy changes into sound energy and light energy when the steam leaves the kettle.

D)Some of the light energy in the natural gas transforms into chemical energy in the water. Then some of the chemical energy changes into kinetic energy when steam leaves the kettle and into sound energy when the water boils.

EXPLANATION;

Natural gas which is also referred to as fossil gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas that consist of Chemicals that has some components such as methane, along with some proportion of other higher alkanes as well as nitrogen,helium and others.

Whenever burning occurs thermal energy knowns has heat energy is generated, the generated thermal energy helps the water to boil, when the water is boiling steam is been generated out of the kettle, as a result of these sound is been made from the lid of the kettle as a result of the accumulation of the steam which generate pressure inside the kettle.
