Pentane‚ Propane-1-ol and Propane-2-ol would be the most appropriate to take on a camping trip to a national park where wood cannot be used to burn. Factors that need to be considered are: • Heat of combustion (flash point) • Heat of vaporisation (boiling point) • How long the fuel will last • Does the fuel heat up the water relatively quickly • Does the fuel combust completely Hypothesis: If the tests are all successful‚ Pentane should produce a larger flame than the Propan-1-ol or Propan-2-ol as

What is molar mass?Molar mass is the weight of one mole (or 6.02 x 1023 molecules) of any chemical compounds. Molar masses of common chemical compounds that you might find in the chemistry laboratory can range between 18 grams/mole for compounds like water to hundreds of grams per mole for more complex chemical compounds.The lightest possible chemical that one can have under normal conditions is hydrogen gas‚ or H2. There is no limit to how heavy a chemical compound can be - it is not uncommon for macromolecules (large

Chapter 11 Internal Combustion Engines 11.1 Introduction Internal combustion engines differ from external combustion engines in that the energy released from the burning of fuel occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate combustion chamber. Examples of external combustion engines are gas and steam turbines. The gas turbine power plant utilizes products of combustion from a separate combustor as the working fluid. These gases are used to drive the gas turbine and produce useful power. The

What is Engineering? Engineering is the practical application of science and math to solve problems‚ and it is everywhere in the world around you. From the start to the end of each day‚ engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate‚ work‚ travel‚ stay healthy‚ and entertain ourselves. www.ece.gatech.edu › COE Home › ECE Home › Outreach Engineers are problem-solvers who want to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively.

Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid There are several ways to find the molar mass of a substance. One way‚ if the substance is a gas‚ is to use the Ideal Gas Equation to find molar mass. The standard equation reads PV=nRT where “n” is the number of moles present‚ “P” is the pressure (which is obtained by reading the barometric pressure of the room with the class barometer)‚ “V” is the volume of the gas‚ “R” is the universal constant‚ and “T” is the temperature of the gas. The experiment’s objective

this lab‚ I calculated the heat of combustion of paraffin (candle wax) by burning a candle and holding a calorimeter (a soda can) filled with 98.7 mL of water above the flame. The heat released by the candle was absorbed by the water in the can. It was important to place the metal chimney around the candle so that minimal amounts of heat would escape; having too much heat lost to the atmosphere would cause extra error in the calculations. The assumption made was that all heat released from the candle
