Sanal Das, 5B Chemistry Coursework SC1 What factors affect the amount of energy given out when an alcohol is burnt? Skill P- Planning: Statement of Problem- To investigate the factors affecting the amount of energy given out when an alcohol is burnt. The factors must be of such that are measurable. Input Variables- In this experiment the input variables will consist of: Volume of alcohol: The amount or volume of alcohol burnt in the experiment can be varied and this would in the amount of time the flame burns for. The volume of the alcohol can be measured using a suitably sized measuring cylinder and a dropping pipette. The variable would be kept constant by measuring the amount used accurately and carefully. It can also be kept constant by doing different volumes of the same alcohol rather than different volumes of different types of alcohols. However this is my chosen variable and therefore the volume will...
