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.
So they ârearrangeâ themselves to form CO2 and H2O. The excess energy of 794 kJ/mol is released as heat, which we can then use to cook our food, among other things. Thus, chemical bonds do not âstoreâ energy. The energy for breaking bonds comes only when stronger bonds are formed instead.
