Robbie Morgan Alcohols Coursework Aim: The aim of this work is to find out the difference in energy that is given out by the alcohols Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol and Butanol when they are burned under a tin of water for 3 minutes. Plan: The first thing I need to do is to collect and correctly set up the apparatus. Here is a diagram of how I plan to do this: Here is the list of apparatus I am going to use: Stand, boss and clamp Spirit burner Metal can Thermometer Electronic scales Heat proof mat Matches I am going to use four different spirit burners each with a different alcohol in it. I am going to choose ones that look as if they have roughly the same amount of fuel in them to make the test fairer. I am using a metal can because it conducts heat better than a glass beaker and therefore it will give me a more accurate result....
