... Water level will be the same for each of the alcohols combusted. All of procedures are to be carried out just to make the experiment fair. Materials Only the following straight-chained alcohols will be used: * Methanol(l) CH3OH * Ethanol(l) CH3CH2OH * Propan-1-ol(l) CH3CH2CH2OH * Butan-1-ol(l) CH3(CH2)2CH2OH * Propan-2-ol(l) CH3CH(OH)CH3 These alcohols are chosen because a wide range of alcohols are needed to be compared, as an aid to decide which alcohol releases the most energy when burned. It will also provide reliable data, showing the exact enthalpy change of combustion of each of the alcohols, which will be used during the experiment. Safety The following safety aspects need to be considered, in order to conduct experiments as safely as possible: * Follow instructions exactly. * Wear goggles for protection from any harmful substance which may accidentally come into contact with your eyes. * Wear lab coats to prevent clothes from being burnt or ruined. It also prevents skin from coming into contact with dangerous chemicals. * Tie ...
