Comparing the enthalpy changes of combustion of different alcohols Introduction I am going to investigate how and why the enthalpy change is affected by the molecular structure of the alcohols under conditions, which I have stated under 'Plan' below. Sources I have used the following sources in aid of devising my plan: * My lecture notes. * Salters Advanced Chemistry: Chemical Storylines * 'Enthalpy' coursework form www.essaybank.co.uk Equipment I will use the following equipment: * Copper calorimeter * Thermometer * Stand * Boss * Clamp * 200 cm³ measuring cylinder * Electronic balance * Bunsen burner * 2 Mats * 5 Splinters The above equipment are needed because the stand, boss and clamp will support and hold the metal calorimeter containing 200cm³ water, which it will be heated up by the burning alcohol underneath.

Two mats will be used to keep heat...
