Describe the reaction and explain why this change does not violate the law of conservation of energy?

Question

when wood is burned,energy is released in the forms of heat and light. but remember to use the terms combustion, exothermic, and chemical energy

Answer 1

Actually the law of conservation of energy is violated by this exothermic reaction because the fuel source is destroyed in the combustion process, additionally the energy produced by the burn caused the energy to be radiated away and lost to the environment as an unrecoverable form of energy, therefore conservation of energy was not maintained in this scenario. In fact no explosive type force is capable of conserving energy conversely implosive forces do conserve energy.

Answer 2

when wood is burned CHEMICAL ENERGY is converted into heat and light energy through COMBUSTION, this is an EXOTHERMIC REACTION

and no, it doesnt violate the law of conservation of energy
only a small amount of energy is yielded, a greater amount of smoke is produced
