Alkanols Aim: To determine which alkanols has higher heat combustion Hypothesis: The alkanols with the longer carbon chain will a higher heat combustion Background Information: Heat combustion can be calculated by using various formulas. By using ΔH= -mcΔT‚ we can gather the amount of heat released. Since the experiment is exothermic‚ ΔH will have a negative value. By dividing the total amount by 1000‚ the units changes into KJ. Divide the total KJ of heat by the amount of fuel used(in grams) which gives

entropy of the system .If a compression or expansion of a gas takes place with no flow of heat energy either into or out of the gas - the process is said to be isentropic or adiabatic. The isentropic (adiabatic) process can be expressed with the Ideal Gas Law as: p / ρk = constant where k = cp / cv - the ratio of specific heats - the ratio of specific heat at constant pressure - cp - to the specific heat at constant volume - cv The isentropic or adiabatic process can also be expressed as

Ex: An aluminum cup having a mass of 250.0 g is filled with 50.0 g of water. The initial temperature of the cup and water is 25.0 °C. A 75.0-g piece of iron initially at 350.0 °C is dropped into the water. What is the final equilibrium temperature of the system assuming that no heat is lost to the

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation‚ use‚ conversion‚ and exchange of thermal energy and heat between physical systems. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms‚ such as thermal conduction‚ thermal convection‚ thermal radiation‚ and transfer of energy by phase changes. Engineers also consider the transfer of mass of differing chemical species‚ either cold or hot‚ to achieve heat transfer. While these mechanisms have distinct characteristics

Heat transfer Heat transfer is the transition of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler object ("object" in this sense designating a complex collection of particles which is capable of storing energy in many different ways). When an object or fluid is at a different temperature than its surroundings or another object‚ transfer of thermal energy‚ also known as heat transfer‚ or heat exchange‚ occurs in such a way that the body and the surroundings reach thermal equilibrium‚ this means that

HEAT TRANSFER Heat transfer‚ also known as heat flow‚ heat exchange‚ or simply heat‚ is the transfer of thermal energy from one region of matter or a physical system to another. When an object is at a different temperature from its surroundings‚ heat transfer occurs so that the body and the surroundings reach the same temperature at thermal equilibrium. Such spontaneous heat transfer always occurs from a region of high temperature to another region of lower temperature‚ as required by the second

Specific Heat of a Metal Post-Lab I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. II. Safety Wear goggles and lab apron at all times. Use caution when boiling water. Do not pick up hot beaker or hot metal with hands. Use tongs. III. Pre-Lab Questions 1. A 12.5 g metal is raised to 100C in boiling water. It is put into 82.8 g of water at 22.4C‚ and the water rises to 28.6C. Recalling that the specific heat of water is 4.18J/gC‚ use the equation above
