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 Because of this, atoms and molecules can have chemical potential energy. 2  Anytime two atoms form a strong covalent or ionic bond or two molecules form a weak van der Waals bond, chemical energy is converted into other forms of energy, usually in the form of heat and light. 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.
