Write down the conclusion for this experiment. Report any source of error and summarize findings.rnrntitle: enthalpy of change rnaim : to determine the enthalpy of combustion of candle (wax), ethanol and coconut oil.
Accepted Answer
The experiment aimed to determine the enthalpy of combustion for candle wax, ethanol, and coconut oil. By measuring the temperature change of a known mass of water, the heat released during combustion was calculated. The results should be presented in a table with the calculated enthalpy values for each fuel. Potential sources of error could include heat loss to the surroundings, incomplete combustion, and inaccuracies in measuring mass and temperature. The findings should be compared to literature values, highlighting any significant discrepancies. A discussion of the relative enthalpy values of each fuel should be included, considering their chemical compositions and structures.
