Intro to Thermochemistry

The release of chemical potential energy produces all of the following except:

• heat

• work

• motion

• cooling

Chemicals in gasoline contain a large amount of potential energy because:

• there are many compounds present in gasoline

• gasoline components carry out several reactions

• gasoline is very volatile

• there are many chemical bonds present
