Investigation on in to the combustion of Alcohols Hypothesis As the number for carbon atoms in alcohol increases the more energy is released. I am going to conduct an experiment, which will allow me to compare the heat energy given off by three alcohols, those being ethanol, propanol and butanol. These alcohols have a difference of one carbon atom within there atomic structure. I am going to investigate the amount of energy given out per mole once we burn the alcohol, which is the enthalpy of combustion (?H c). This can be supported with the calculations of the bond energies We know that chemical bonds are broken in reagents for this to happen energy must be put in and also chemical bonds are made in the products when this happens and energy is given out. How much energy has to be put into break a given bond or how much is...
