Answer:
A) Chemical energy
B) petrol
C) Mobil oil
D) Plastic granules
Explanation:
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a chemical reaction to transform into other substances. Some examples of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, food, and gasoline
Petrol are pure mineral oil which are generally insulator. petrol cannot conduct electricity but is a good conductor of heat. To be a good conductor of electricity the material or sample should produce or have ions in it to conduct the electricity,and ions are absent in petrol
Mobil, previously known as the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, is a major American oil company that merged with Exxon in 1999 to form a parent company called ExxonMobil. It was previously one of the Seven Sisters that dominated the global petroleum industry from the mid-1940s until the 1970s.
solution. ... Thus, distilled water becomes a good conductor of electricity on dissolving a little of salt in it.
