Name: Sarah Galal Sayed Ahmed Elrify An investigation into the combustion of alcohol Aim: I am going to compare the enthalpy change of combustion of alcohol The enthalpy of combustion is a measure of the energy transferred when one mole of the fuel is burnt completely. Example:- CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2H2O (l) Plan: You will first need the following requirements: * Thermometer 0-110oC to measure the temperature of the water and to stir the water with it while it is heating the division will be 1oC * The four different kind of alcohol which will be used as fuel: 1. methanol 2. ethanol 3. propan-1-ol 4. Butan-1-ol The alcohol will be used as the spirit burner that we have to light, where will be one for each alcohol. * 100cm3 measuring cylinder so that we can measure the amount of water needed (range 0-110 cm3 , divisions of 1.0...
