Q:

Gasoline is useful in cars because it has

A) chemical potential energy B) electrical potential energy
C) gravitational potential energy D) kinetic energy
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) chemical potential energy

Explanation:

Gasoline is a colorless petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. It is also called as Petrol.
