Plan In this experiment, I plan to find out the difference in energy release between different sorts of alcohols. To do this I will test how much alcohol is required to increase the temperature of 100ml of water by 30 degrees Celsius. Obviously, many factors may affect my results, therefore making them less reliable. To improve my results, I will carry out some preliminary research to see if I can improve the reliability and accuracy. Please see attached preliminary work for details (sheet 2a). The preliminary work showed, in short, that it was beneficial to use an aluminium foil shield to reduce heat loss. I will set up my apparatus as shown below. To ensure my experiment is safe, I will sport goggles and comply with all of the normal laboratory requirements, such as not sitting on benches. To further my acknowledgement of safety, I will have to take care as one...
