Chemistry coursework Sarah Kennedy Burning Alcohols We are going to be doing an experiment that will show us how much heat energy is produced by burning an alcohol. The amount of heat given out when a mole of fuel burns is called heat combustion( H combustion). We will test how much energy is produced by calculating the heat given of from the alcohol burned by the spirit lamp. In this each experiment the variable is going to be the different alcohols used. I am going to have four different alcohols; Methanol, Propanol, Ethanol and Butanol. The outcome of this experiment will be the mass difference from the beginning to the end and the temperature change. From that we can find out the heat per mole given out for all of theses alcohols. Method: Safety is important whilst doing this experiment so hair should be tied back, overall and goggles should be worn during experiment and...
