So in wood combustion we observe solid wood disappear and be converted to gas products‚ leaving only some ashes. These are formed by minor components of wood that cannot burn and remain solid. 1. Explain what happens to the mass of a tree when it catches fire and burns until only ashes remain. You must include a chemical equation; discuss the chemical reactions taking place‚ and the law of conservation of mass in your answer. The wood from the tree has undergone a chemical change. When you burn

Investigating How the Relative Molecular Mass Changes in Heat Combustion of an Alcohol Planning Introduction ============ As alcohol burns in air it gives out energy as heat and light. I am going to investigate how the energy output of an alcohol in combustion changes‚ with increased relative molecular mass‚ or RMM. RMM is the sum of the atomic masses of every atom in the molecule. Using the alcohols: Methanol‚ Ethanol‚ Propan-1-ol‚ Butan-1-ol and Pentan-1-ol‚ I will plan

Determination of the molar mass of carbon dioxide Purpose: The purpose of the practical that we completed was to determine the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) by experimental means and to observe the reaction of hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate. Using the balanced equation: Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2 Materials / Apparatus: 1) 8.00g of sodium carbonate‚ 2) 30mL of hydrochloric acid (6molL-1) 3) 100mL of hydrochloric acid (6molL-1) 4) 100mL conical flask‚ 5) 150mL glass beaker 6)

Lean burn refers to the use of lean mixtures in an internal combustion engine. The air-fuel ratios can be as high as 65:1‚ so the mixture has considerably less fuel in comparison to the stoichiometric combustion ratio (14.7:1 for petrol for example).

The invention of the internal combustion engine is most probably the result of the developments of several individuals. Around 1780‚ Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens built an engine that used gunpowder as a fuel‚ but this engine was far too dangerous to be practical. His assistant‚ Denis Papin‚ also experimented with developing an internal combustion engine‚ building a simple steam-powered device around 1790. Again‚ this engine was not practical‚ and not until the early nineteenth century did the

this lab‚ we are now able to calculate the molar heat of combustion for paraffin‚ since we have the difference of the mass in candle before/after and the periodic table of elements (for converting g to moles of paraffin). Molar heat of combustion = (kJ of heat)/(mole of fuel) However‚ we do not know how much heat was released nor the mole of fuel (paraffin). In order to find the amount of heat released‚ we use the formula: g=mcΔT. Here‚ g represents the heat‚ m represents the mass of water‚ ΔT represents
