select the correct answer.\nkatrina inserts a key into her cars ignition. she turns the key, putting her car into ignition mode. in this mode, some energy is used to increase the temperature of the cars fuel. this energy allows the fuel to combust and the car to move. whats this energy called?\na. absorbed energy\nb. activation energy\nc. chemical energy\nd. released energy\ne. solar energy
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a chemical reaction. In the car - ignition process, energy is needed to increase the fuel's temperature to start combustion. This energy is activation energy. Absorbed energy is a general term not specific to this process. Chemical energy is stored in the fuel. Released energy is what comes out during combustion. Solar energy is from the sun and not relevant here.
Answer:
B. activation energy
