Combustion of Alcohol Introduction: This experiment is based on the combustion of alcohols. In alcohol there are different amounts of carbon. We will be burning the alcohols to see weather the amount of carbon affects the energy given out. Combustion is basically a reaction of a fuel with oxygen creating heat. I know that the reactions in this experiment will be exothermic because they will give out heat. Therefore energy is produced by the reaction. Aim: To find out weather the amount of carbon in alcohols affect the amount of energy given out when the alcohol is burnt. We will see how much it heats up water and then we will figure out the amount of energy produced then how much energy produced per mole. The alcohols that I will be using will be: propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, ethan-1-ol, methan-1-ol and pentan-1-ol. Prediction: I predict that the more carbon in an alcohol then the more energy released. I...
