As Level Chemistry Coursework PLANNING INRODUCTION For this experiment I have been given a task to determine which is the best Alcohol from its Homologous series. I can determine this by finding the Enthalpy change of Combustion for Alcohols. I know that 4.2J of energy is required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1°C and to find the Enthalpy change for the Alcohols, I will use the formula D = M/V. The density of water is 1 and therefore 1g is equivalent to 1 ml. APPARATUS The apparatus that I will use within this experiment will consist of: * 6 * 250ml Steel Crucibles * 2 * 100ml measuring cylinders * 6 * 250ml Sprit burners * Clamp + Clamp stand * 2 * Cardboard shields * Stopwatch * 30cm Ruler stick * Electrical weigh I will also include 100ml of six Alcohols from their functional groups. ALCOHOLS BEING USED DIAGRAM FAIR TEST & FACTORS THAT I NEED TO CONTROL For this experiment to proceed...
