Question: How does functional groups on ethane impact the exothermic energy released during the combustion of the compound?

Hypothesis:

Equipment:

Thermometer
Ethane
Ethanol
Ethanoic Acid
Fire and a skewer
Weighing scale
Ceramic Container
400ml beaker
Aluminum foil
Lab coat apron
Safety goggles
Retort stand and ring clamp

Procedure:
Wear your lab coat / apron and your safety goggles.
Prepare 100ml of water into a beaker then cover it with an aluminum sheet.
Poke a hole through the aluminum with the skewer and place your thermometer in (make sure the hole isn’t too big or you’ll let some of the steam escape.
Record the initial temperature of the water.
Prepare your retort stand with your ceramic container at the base of the stand.

    Figure 8. shows the response of the carbon chain atoms triglycerides to an infrared radiance, which the fuel with the catalyst responds faster to the transmitted heat is around 31% T, and the fuel without the catalyst is around 40% T. These results indicated that the atom's bond in triglyceride chain is weakened, the viscosity decreases and the fuel readily absorb heat. Moreover, the highest temperatures achieved (see fig 3) and the shorter burnout time (see fig 6) prove that the fuel with the catalyst has a great…

    CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon chain will have a higher heat of combustion, because as there are more carbon atoms, more energy will be released as a result of the breaking of the covalent bonding and the forming of bonding as the final product.

    Following Added by Brandon Boocks: During a chemical reaction, one or more chemicals are turned into one or more other chemicals. For example iron and oxygen both combine to rust or just simply things that are burning or exploding are examples of chemical reactions. Endothermic describes the type of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed. Energy needed in the form of heat is needed for an endothermic reaction to be possible. Heat is put into the reaction or, as stated before, it is absorbed.…

    This experiment demonstrates how the results of two reactions can create a colored flame with the sugar in the gummy bear. When potassium chlorate is heated to its molten state, it goes through a thermal decomposition reaction that causes it to dissociate into potassium chloride and excess oxygen. The gummy bear is mostly made up of sugar and causes a combustion reaction when mixed with the excess oxygen. Carbon dioxide and gaseous water are released as a result of the reaction. The purple flames that arise are the result of an exothermic reaction and heat being released is the result of an energy transformation.…

    Almost all chemical reactions involve a loss or gain of heat. This change in heat is called enthalpy. The goal of this experiment is to calculate enthalpy for three different reactions. To calculate the enthalpy of a reaction, a calorimeter is used to measure the change in heat energy from mixing different substances. The change of temperature is found by comparing the change in temperature of the system to the temperature of the surroundings.…

    Thermal effect results from the change in the heat capacity of the gases in the combustion chamber. It is worth mentioning that EGR contains water and CO2 which have higher specific heat capacity than air. The change in absorbing heat is proportional to the added mass, to the heat capacity at constant pressure and to the difference in temperature between the EGR and the combustion temperature. ΔQ=Δm*Cp*(Tcom-Tegr) The change in specific heat capacity results from charge dilution and represents the thermal effect.…
