Lordswood Boys School My Investigation H Name : Alex Byrd Set: 11Z The Combustion rate of Alcohols and how much energy is required to break their bonds Planning I am going to investigate what happens when I heat some water using sprit burners containing different alcohols and then find how much mass was lost. As I am going to be heating water up then some way or another I will be losing heat, plus if I'm in a room with a window open then the flame will be disturbed and the beaker will cool down from the cool air coming through. To help prevent this I shall put cardboard pieces around the flame to protect the flame and the beaker. I am going to use a copper container because it conducts heat better and so there will be better results.
