Lab Experiment: HEAT OF COMBUSTION

Instructor: Ms. EDNA SUMAGANG

Objective:
After watching the video, he will be able to:
 Understand the heat of combustion substance heat burned.
 Know the fuel equation of the reaction substance of heat combustion.
 Understand the simple method for obtaining approximate value for the heat combustion
of the fuel.
 Understand the meaning of heat combustion

Materials:
 Wind shield
 Metal coli meter
 Fuel
 Thermometer
 Lamp
 Water
Procedure:
 Put a water in the container together with the Thermometer
 Light up the lamp with fuel, the lamp will burn the fuel, and the water will absorb
the thermal energy.
 Measure the mass of a fuel in the lamp, to know how much fuel will burn and the
temperature of a water how much heat is absorb.
 Get the approximation of extra value of heat combustion.

Observation:
In my observation for the heat combustion the fuel inside the lamp the metal calorimeter
used the copper the reason we use copper it is a good heat conductor. Inside the container there is
a water. So, when we light up the lamp had a fuel, so the calorimeter or the water will be
absorbing energy and the water will be increase by calculating the mass of fuel burned use
measure the mass. We will measure the balance of fuel has been burned. From the temperature
the water also, we will know how much heat is absorbing. And we can use to calculate amount of
the heat energy absorb. And we can also include the energy absorb and the calorimeter. After we
know how much heat absorb and how much fuel burned and we can find the heat of combustion.
Heat combustion is equal to more and you change per mol. Then the mole we need to know
approximation the extra value of the heat combustion, because when we light up the lamp not all
the heat absorbs by calorimeter because other part of the heat go to surrounding heat conductor
the radiation. Part of the heat will be released to the surrounding not absorb by the water. If the
heat will not absorb the water their will calculate will not accurate. We use calorimeter to absorb
hot followed by the thermometer the wind shield to free go to blow inside the area. Heat
combustion is the measure of the amount of energy released in the form heat when one mole of a
substance is burned (combustion).

Analysis:
Heat combustion is often described as a chemical reaction. This is because heat is
absorbed by the molecules of the fuel, and they change in form or rearrange their position so that
more heat can be transferred to a cooler area. This type of combustion leads to release of energy
and a decreased in temperature. There are many different types of combustion, but in this blog
post we will discuss one particular type called gas-phase flame combustion. The molar heat of
combustion (He) is the heat released when one mole of a substance is completely burned. In this
case, one mole of oxygen reacts with one mole of methanol to form one mole of carbon dioxide
and two moles of water. By measuring the temperature change, the heat of combustion can be
determined. Heats of combustion are used as a basis for comparing the heating value of fuels,
since the fuel that produces the greater amount of heat for a given cost is the more economic.
Heats of combustion are also used in comparing the stabilities of chemical compounds.
Combustion is a technical process that occurs when a fuel reacts with an oxidant to produce heat.
Heat combustion is the heat released under standard conditions during the combustion process.
The burning of hydrocarbon, for example, in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide
and water is the complete combustion process. It can also be taken as the heat content of the fuel.

Conclusion:
With this experiment, we were able to measure the heat of combustion of different fuels
used in every-day life. The result is in the agreement with the theory but are not very precise. An
experiment made on no longer time with a better isolation would have improved the precision of
the result.
