Catherine Vega · Answer 1

Answer : Chemical energy to thermal energy

Explanation : When the welding torch uses the acetylene fuel for producing flame it is using the chemical acetylene to generate energy in form of light, after the flame is produced the fuel is used for melting a metal which is utilizing the thermal energy. So the ultimate final product is generated from chemical to thermal and so the energy transformation is from chemical energy to thermal energy.
