Chemistry coursework This project was set out to test the strength of different carbon chains in combustion Alcohol is an organic molecule with an OH group. These bonds are hydrocarbon bonds which are made up of hydrogen and carbon. My scientific knowledge tells me that as the hydrocarbon molecule increase, ie there are more bonds then: 1) the boiling point increases 2) it gets less flammable 3) it gets more viscous 4) it gets less volatile I set up a preliminary test using Methanol which has the shortest carbon bond, which is single, to find the suitable variables and constants. The experiment was set up as follows: Apparatus: Bunsen burner 5 Alcohols Metal water container Heat mat Thermometer Weighing scales Tort stand I did 3 preliminary tests using different variables to find the appropriate and most efficient. Experiment 1) 50ml of water 10cm away from the flame with a 20 degree increase in temperature Experiment 2) 100ml of water 20cm away from the flame with a...
