1. describe at least three of the transformations from one form of energy to another that occur in changing nuclear energy at a power plant to the energy delivered to your home via an electrical wall outlet. be sure to specify what form of energy is changed to what other form at each step.

Nuclear energy ⇒ Heat ⇒ Kinetic energy ⇒ Electrical energy

Explanation

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can convert from one form to another. The energy delivered at our home via electrical wall outlet was not present in the same form in the beginning.  

In the power plant, the nuclear energy converted to heat. This heat runs the turbine where energy is converted to kinetic energy. This kinetic energy runs the generator which converts the energy to electrical energy which transported to our homes.

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
