参考步骤

Alcohol combustion: energy measurement

Alcohol + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water under complete combustion

物料与用量

  • Specified alcohol fuels
  • Known mass of water

仪器装置

  • Spirit burners with caps
  • Balance
  • Water container and thermometer

实验步骤

  1. Keep water mass, burner distance and starting conditions comparable across fuels.
  2. Measure burner mass loss and water-temperature rise, then express the estimated heat transfer per mole of fuel.

后处理与分离

  1. Record soot and other evidence of incomplete combustion alongside the numerical result.

关键控制条件

  • Heat loss and fuel evaporation usually make the result less exothermic than an ideal combustion value.
  • Measure temperature change and analyse combustion gases separately.
  • Extinguish and cool burners before handling or refilling; never refill near a flame.

实验技术

Combustion calorimetry and uncertainty

Estimate energy transfer from fuel combustion using water-temperature rise and fuel mass loss.

装置设置

  1. Measure the water mass and starting temperature, and weigh the capped burner.
  2. After controlled heating, extinguish the burner, mix the water and record the final temperature and burner mass.
  3. Use q = mcΔT and divide by moles burned, with a negative sign for the estimated combustion enthalpy.

操作检查

  • Heat loss, apparatus heating, evaporation and incomplete combustion affect the estimate.
  • Report an experimental value and uncertainty; do not label it a measured standard enthalpy without the required conditions.

底物范围

适用范围
Saturated, acyclic monohydric alcohols undergo complete combustion in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
来源说明
The displayed general equation uses the formula CnH(2n+2)O. Other alcohol subclasses require coefficients derived from their own molecular formula; incomplete combustion is not represented here.
