[Science Fair Question] How do I measure energy?
So for my science fair project, I am going to convert various materials
into energy i.e. petroleum, nonrenewable resources, etc. etc.
/>However, the results have to be graphable and I am not sure whether how
l would do it. l was thinking of trying to measure which of the materials
have energy the most. I am not sure whether l could measure
energy but I am really confused as to what to do. l just know that I am
going to be converting materials into energy and that the results of the experiment have to be graphable. Any suggestions or advice?? Help!!
You can use the old calorimeter method.
You take a measured amount of the material.. let is say 10 grams. You
place it under a measured amount of water contained in a beaker. (let is
say 50cc)
You burn the substance and measure the temperature raise of the water. That is the amount of energy contained in them transformed into the heat. It is amazingly accurate if you are careful in all measurements and control the environment.

What is the Energy resource of petroleum? And what is the reason for use in our daily life?? Which of the following products do petroleum resources provide in addition to energy After completion of Bechalor of Business Administration from University of Petroleum & Energy Studies There are too many accidents petroleum that pollute the seas. Better to pass immediately to other clean energy does biodiesel contain less energy than petroleum What do you see as the future form of energy for the planet? Is petroleum engineering a good choice for me? Does the government have alternate sources of energy that they are not disclosing? Is destroying the oil and utility companies a motivator for people to go Green? If so, to what extent?? Please help with biology if you are a science WIZ i need a help on some questionS????? Are you aware of "THE PEAK OIL MYTH"? Solar Power questions! Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: 4 guests |
