GENERIC NAME: enalapril. DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Enalapril is a drug that is used for treating high blood pressure. It is in a class of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. ACE is an enzyme in the body that causes the formation of angiotensin II.
RECOMMENDED LESSONS: Chemical energy. Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by product (exothermic reaction) . Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy.
1 The amount of energy in a bond is somewhat counterintuitive-the stronger or more stable the bond, the less chemical energy there is between the bonded atoms. 2  Strong bonds have low chemical energy and weak bonds have high chemical energy. It is a type of energy that can be converted to other forms and often is related to some attractive or pushing forces. 2  Elastic Potential Energy. 3  Anything that can act like a spring or a rubber band can have elastic potential energy.
