How do i determine molar enthalpy in an experiment

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-22] [Hit: ]
You need a ring stand and a ring that can easily hold a beaker. If you dont mind more inaccuracy, you can put a screen under the beaker. It will decrease the amount of measurable heat, but it is safer.Next you can put a tin can with both ends removed around the beaker suspended if you can arrange it.......
I'm doing a chemistry experiment using methanol, CH3OH, ethanol (CH3CH2OH), and cyclohexane (C6H12). How do i find the molar enthalpy of these values? And what simple materials do i need?

It won't give great results, but you can put the ethanol and ethanol in an "alcohol" burner. Almost all schools have one.

You need a ring stand and a ring that can easily hold a beaker. If you don't mind more inaccuracy, you can put a screen under the beaker. It will decrease the amount of measurable heat, but it is safer.

Next you can put a tin can with both ends removed around the beaker suspended if you can arrange it. That will contain some of the lost heat (though not much).

Now put water in the beaker. Start the burner and measure the temperature the water in the beaker goes to.

The cyclohexane is another matter. I think I'd be awfully careful with that stuff. Work with someone who understands how these should be burned. I think I'd pick another alcohol if it were me.

The formula you need to use to measure the molar heat of reaction is

n*H = mc*(delta t)

n is the moles of alcohol
H = what you are solving.
m is the mass of the water.
c is 4.19 (a constant for water).
delta t = the change in temperature of the water.
