Molar Heat of Combustion Aim: To find the molar heat of combustion for four different alkanols: 1. Methanol 2. Ethanol 3. 1-Propanol 4. 1-Butanol - And to compare the experimental value with the theoretical. Background: The Molar Heat of Combustion of a substance is the heat liberated when 1 mole of the substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen at standard atmospheric pressure‚ with the final products being carbon dioxide gas and liquid water.

Shaft rotary kiln The theoretical heat (the standard enthalpy) of reaction required to make high-calcium lime is around 3.15 MJ per kg of lime‚ so the batch kilns were only around 20% efficient. The key to development in efficiency was the invention of continuous kilns‚ avoiding the wasteful heat-up and cool-down cycles of the batch kilns. The first were simple shaft kilns‚ similar in construction to blast furnaces. These are counter-current shaft kilns. Modern variants include regenerative and

COAL GRADING IN INDIA: The gradation of non-coking coal is based on Useful Heat Value (UHV)‚ the gradation of coking coal is based on ash content and for semi coking / weakly coking coal it is based on ash plus moisture content ‚ as in vogue as per notification. Grades of Coking Coal Grade Ash Content Steel Grade –I Not exceeding 15% Steel Grade -II Exceeding 15% but not exceeding 18% Washery Grade -I Exceeding 18% but not exceeding 21% Washery Grade -II Exceeding

Heats of Combustion of Alkanols Aim: To perform a first-hand investigation to determine the heats of combustion of selected alkanols. Hypothesis: It was predicted that methanol would have the highest molar heat of combustion‚ decreasing as the chains become longer. Equipment: • Three spirit burners containing methanol‚ ethanol and propan-1-ol respectively • Electronic scales • Water • 100ml measuring cylinder • Retort stand and boss-head clamp • Copper beaker • Thermometer Method:

Aim: Perform an experiment to determine the latent heat of fusion for milk. Materials: Calorimeter Celsius Thermometer Platform balance Kettle Milk ice cubes Stopwatch Hot Water Procedure: The copper cup was weighed and its mass was then recorded. The kettle was then used to boil water and this water was poured into the copper cup. The mass of the cup plus the hot water was calculated and recorded. The copper cup was then placed in the insulated container. The water’s temperature was

Combustion Of Alcohols Planning This investigation involves burning alcohol in the air. Key science- Chemistry by Eileen Ramsden says that " an alcohol is a series of organic‚ homologous compounds‚ with the general formula Cn H2n+1OH". The alcohol reacts with the oxygen in the air to form the products water and carbon dioxide: Cn H2n+1OH +(n+n/2)-1O2 ? nH2O + nCO2 The structure of the molecules in this reaction is: H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H H This reaction

PROBLEM Investigate the heat energy in a range of alcohol’s used as fuels. HYPOTHESIS I predict that octanol will release the most heat energy. This is because there is more bond energy in that molecule than the other alcohols. Within a molecule there are bond energies that are holding the atoms together. When the fuel combusts a chemical reaction takes place‚ this breaks the bonds‚ this requires energy‚ and makes new bonds this gives out energy. The energy differences between the two tell us
