Investigating Energy from Alcohols Coursework Aim: The aim of this investigation is to discover the energy given from alcohols when they are heated. Plan: In this experiment we are going to be investigating the energy given from alcohols. We are going to be using very precise equipment in this experiment so that our results are very accurate, for example the thermometer we are using can take a reading to the closest 0.1 decimal place. We are also going to make this a fair test by heating the alcohol for 3 minutes each time. I will be using fresh water each time. I will need to calculate the difference in mass before and after the experiment and calculate the difference in temperature before and after. Method: Weigh the burner, keeping the cap on to stop any alcohol evaporating, then place the measuring cylinder on the tripod with 150ml of water at room temperature in it. Take a...
