Alexandru Apetrei 11H The Combustion Of Alcohol Background information In order to make a proper assessment of the experiment I have gathered background information about the reactions and consequences of reactions which are below. Key Points: * The breaking of bonds is endothermic, and the making of bonds is exothermic. * The difference between the two decides whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. I can use this to calculate the theoretical change in energy, by using the given values, of the energy required to break certain bonds. Chemical Bond Energy (KJ/Mol) : Type of chemical bond Energy required to break or make bond(KJ/Mol) C-H , Carbon Hydrogen single bond 413 O--O , Oxygen Oxygen double bond 497 O-H , Oxygen Hydrogen single bond 464 C--O ,Carbon Oxygen double bond 745 C-O , Carbon Oxygen single bond 358 C-C , Carbon Carbon single bond 346 Key Ideas About water : * 1 cm3 of water = 1g of water * Heat Transferred = Mass of Water(in Kg) X Temperature Rise(In KJ)...
