This page will help you answer questions
such as ...
What is a chemical energy store?
Give some examples of chemical energy stores.
Examples of chemical energy stores are
explained
 Chemical energy
and chemical energy stores
-
Chemical energy is 'stored' or
'bound up' in chemical elements/compounds by virtue of their chemical
structure.
-
A chemical energy store consists of
chemicals that release energy when they react e.g.
-
 burning hydrocarbon
fuels like petrol from crude oil converts stored chemical energy into heat
energy,
-
metabolising foods like fats and carbohydrates
releases energy to power living cells in any organism,
-
 discharging a charged car
battery containing sulfuric acid solution and lead
electrodes coverts chemical energy to electrical energy.
-
 Since chemical energy is a form
of stored energy e.g. a battery or tank of fuel, it does nothing until it is released and converted into
another form of energy - usually electrical energy or heat energy.
