Question

A welding torch produces a flame by burning acetylene fuel in the presence of oxygen. This flame is used to melt a metal. Which energy transformation represents this process?

Answer 1

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "Chemical energy turns into thermal energy. " A welding torch produces a flame by burning acetylene fuel in the presence of oxygen. This flame is used to melt a metal.

Here are the following choices:
A. Chemical energy turns into thermal energy.
B. Kinetic energy turns into potential energy.
C. Thermal energy turns into electromagnetic energy.
D. Potential energy turns into chemical energy.

Answer 2

Chemical energy in to thermal energy

Step-by-step explanation

When acetylene fuel is burning in presence of oxygen, we have chemical process taking place. The torch is used to heat metal to its kindling temperature in oxy-fuel cutting. The steam of gas is then trained on the metal burning it into a metal oxide that flows out of the spout.

So the energy transformation represents this process is Chemical energy into thermal energy
