Experiment
Aim: Measuring Enthalpy Change of propan-1-ol by experiment
Requirements: Calorimeter, spirit burner, distilled water, thermometer (0.1C), plastic
lid,
Set-up:
clamp
lid
Wick
Thermometer
Calorimeter
Water
Flame
Draught Shield
Spirit burner
Ethanol
Procedure:
-
Weigh the spirit burner containing the fuel (propan-1-ol). The cap on the burner
must be kept on when the burner is not lid to avoid evaporation
Pour 100cm3 distilled water into the calorimeter and weigh the calorimeter and
water.
Stir the distilled water and record its steady temperature to the nearest 0.1 C.
Place the spirit burner beneath the calorimeter. Remove the cap and light the
wick. The length of the wick is adjusted such that the material of the wick does not
burn and the flame just touches the bottom of the calorimeter.
Keep stirring the water with the thermometer until there is a temperature rise of
about 10C. Record this temperature.
Remove the spirit burner, place the cap on it and reweigh it.
