Name : Youhanna Andraws Kamal El Alfy Class : 4/6 Activity : C5.01-05 Dated : 10-3-2004 Coursework Assignment Energy Released From the Complete Combustion of Different Alcohols Energy Released From the Complete Combustion of Different Alcohols I. (PLANNING) 1-The Aim of work: A fuel is a substance which can be conveniently used as a cheap source of energy. In this experiment the key factor that I plan to investigate is the amount of energy released from burning different fuels. I will be burning five different alcohols, ethanol, methanol, propanol, pentanol and butanol. My aim is to find the energy produced from burning of each one of these alcohols and afterwards calculate the heat value for each. This energy is given out when forming bonds between the new water and the carbon dioxide molecules I have used water since it is safe, abundant and has a specific heat capacity which is 4.18. In a chemical reaction bonds between atoms in the reactant molecules are broken and...
