Chemistry coursework: Burning Alcohols

... Chemistry coursework: Burning Alcohols Aim: The aim of this investigation is to determine which alcohol makes the best fuel for burning. Equipment: Tripod Tin can Alcohols: Ethanol, Propanol, Brutanol, Pentanol, Hexanol, Heptanol, Octanol. Thermometer Stopwatch Heat proof mat Mass Balance Variables: Constant variables: * Type of container * Amount of water used * Surrounding temperature (approximate) * Height of beaker * Mass Balance (if possible) * Height of beaker from wick Changeable variables: * The type of alcohol used Safety: Safety goggles must be worn at all times during the experiment to protect the eyes. After the tin can has been heated, it must be handled with great care as it will be immensely hot, as it shall contain hot water.
