Question

What type of energy transformation takes place when carbon is cycled in a coal-based power plant?

Chemical energy to chemical energy
Chemical energy to electrical energy
Mechanical energy to chemical energy
Mechanical energy to mechanical energy

Answer 1

The correct answer would be B. Chemical energy to electrical energy

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer 2

Let us see the initial state; the energy that is used in the start is within carbon and it is in the form of chemical bonds that make the molecules; this energy is lost from carbon molecules as they are transformed into carbon dioxide and vapor. This energy then takes the form of electricity since we are talking about a power plant that supplies energy. Hence, the correct answer is chemical to electrical.
