1st YEARS - PHYSICS LAB MANUAL SPH 2120 INTRODUCTION TO ENVIROMENTAL PHYSICS This laboratory manual has been organized and re-arranged by Mr. Itune Joseph. (Mr. Itune Joseph is a Senior Technologist at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture Science and Technology in Kenya . He has a wealth of Experience in Physics laboratory work spanning over 26 years hands on.) Experiment 1 Heating it Up! Which Fuel Source Has More Heat Energy? A Comparison Of The Amount Of Energy Given Off In A Combustion Reaction Objective: There are two objectives for this experiment. The first is to compare possible fuel sources for the amount of energy they give off in the form of heat energy. The second is to tell which one(s) are cleaner burning fuels than the others by observation.. Review of Scientific Principles: We are always looking for alternative energy sources since fossil fuels are nonrenewable resources. There are two questions frequently asked when considering an alternative fuel. How much energy will be released per unit of that resource, and what effects might burning it have on the environment? When we use a resource, such as coal, oil, or natural gas to produce energy, we are breaking the chemical bonds within the substance and rearranging them into more stable bonds. This change results in the formation of different products, such as carbon dioxide and water in the case of combustion, and a release of energy. How can we measure the amount of energy? If we tried to quantify it mec ...
