Question 56

A student investigated the energy released when propanol is burned using the apparatus shown below.

A diagram showing a copper calorimeter containing water supported by a clamp and stand. A thermometer is inserted into the water. Beneath the calorimeter sits a spirit burner containing propanol, sitting on a heatproof mat.

The table below shows the results obtained:

Mass of spirit burner and propanol at start in gMass of spirit burner and propanol at end in g
121.85120.25

In the student's investigation, the temperature of the 150 cm3 of water increased by 40∘C40^\circ\text{C}40∘C.

Calculate the mass of propanol needed to increase the temperature of the 150 cm3 water by 1∘C1^\circ\text{C}1∘C.
