In 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

Through a mirror arrangement is possible to concentrate sun´s rays and focus sunlight on rotating teeth of iron oxide or cerium oxide heating to 1‚500 degrees Celsius. That heat drives the oxygen out of the rust and as the teeth rotate back into the cooler‚ dark side of the reactor‚ they suck oxygen back out of the steam or out of carbon dioxide that has been introduced into the chamber‚ leaving behind energy-rich hydrogen or carbon monoxide. The resulting mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide is
