COMPARING THE ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION OF DIFFERENT ALCHOHOLS.

... COMPARING THE ENTHALPY CHANGE OF COMBUSTION OF DIFFERENT ALCHOHOLS. Aim The aim of my experiment will be to find out which alcohols have a higher enthalpy change of combustion. The comparison of the enthalpy changes of these fuels will then determine the alcohol efficiency and effectiveness. I will experiment on the first 5 consecutive primary alcohols. These are; methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol and hexan-1-ol. The reason why I chose these fuels is because they are the most reliable and accurate fuels to compare within the group; which also have the smallest variable, 'add one carbon' each time, to the aliphatic chain. All combustion reactions are exothermic which is why I am expecting all the values for the enthalpy change of combustion to always be negative. CH3OH + 1.5O2 CO2 + 2H2O METHANE CH3CH 2OH+ 3O2 2CO2 + 3H2O ETHANOL CH3CH 2 CH 2OH+ 4.5O2 3CO2 + 4H2O PROPAN-1-OL CH3CH

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"Generally very good, with a few minor points for improvement. The introductory theory is generally impressively thorough, with effective use of diagrams to illustrate the discussion. I would note that while the author has evidently performed come calculations to determine predicted enthalpy changes, these have not been explained in the report itself as would be desirable. The method is fairly clear, though perhaps a little too 'wordy' - ideally a method should be as concise as possible to allow it to be easily read by the person carrying out the experiment. Finally, the analysis is very strong (though beware using 3D graphs - they aren't as clear as 2D) and there is a strong quantitative consideration of errors with some relevant suggestions to improve the method. For best quality of the report, the author needs to go one step further with the error analysis and apply the % error to the experimental results to give a range of experimentally supported enthalpy values.
