Question 20
Which of the following correctly describes an energy transformation that can be observed in an everyday situation?
A
Gasoline burns and powers a car engine when the bonds are broken between the molecules and the free electrons flow. This is a transformation between electromagnetic energy and chemical energy.
B
Ice in soda glass melts when it is placed in sunlight on a window sill. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed by the water molecules, which increases the speed that the molecules move. This is a transformation between light energy and kinetic energy.
C
A pot of water is heated by a stove as the heat energy moves from the stove top to the metal of the pot. This is a transformation between mechanical energy and thermal energy.
D
The sun is powered by the fusion of large atomic nuclei that creates heat and light for the solar system. This is a transformation between chemical energy and light energy.

I have some familiarity with these two words and most of my familiarity is in terms of cooking. There are a lot of examples of heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures in the kitchen. A heterogenous mixture is one made up of multiple individual components, like a chocolate chip cookie or a bowl of cereal and milk. While the ingredients are blended together, they are still visibly separate. A homogeneous mixture is one that blends to the point of no individual components being visible. An example of this could be simple syrup or a pitcher of sweet tea or lemonade. The terms heterogeneous and homogeneous refer to mixtures of materials in chemistry. The difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures is the degree to which the materials are mixed together and the uniformity of their composition….just like as in the everyday usage of these terms. I feel like the similarities in the usage of…arrow_forward
