*I GIVE MEDALS* Please help me: Find an example of chemical energy being converted to sound energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@madrockz Can you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol this is no math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I still need help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explosives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain that to me @madrockz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, elaborate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here chemical reaction takes place and as a result gives rise to sound energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow thanks!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gave you a medal.

I'll give an example just to get the main idea... somehow. We eat food to get energy. There are many types of energy (includes kinetic and potential energy). Food contains chemical energy and we digest food. As we digest the food, the chemical energy is being taken by our body. The chemical energy is then stored. When we move, the chemical energy will be transfer into mechanical energy that will produce heat energy as a by-product.

OpenStudy (austinl):

I have a thought. Batteries work through chemical reactions. Your phone has batteries. It uses that chemical energy to convert it to electricity which then goes to your speaker which then creates sound energy. Perhaps a stretch.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when an explosive goes off, chemical energy stored in it is transferred to the surroundings as thermal energy, sound energy and kinetic energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I like bot Austiin's and yours!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Austin's*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whatever, but thnks you sooooooo much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even lightning is an example

OpenStudy (austinl):

Lightning isn't chemical energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u r most welcome!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lightning is electrical energy....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kk, toodles.

Which then heats the surrounding air, causing an expansion of air resulting in thunder :D
