Question 24

In a laboratory investigation, a student burned exactly 1.0 g samples of different alcohols to heat 100 cm3 of water in a copper calorimeter. They recorded the temperature rise of the water for each alcohol.

AlcoholNumber of carbon atoms in one moleculeTemperature rise of water in °C
ethanol218.5
propanol324.0
butanol428.0
pentanol531.0
hexanol633.0

Draw a graph of the temperature rise of the water against the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of the alcohol.
