Simple Calorimetry to Find the Enthalpy of Combustion of Alcohols

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Accomplished chemistry learners set up a calorimeter and measured the energy released by various alcohols: methanol, ethanol, and either propanol or butanol. Lab masters will first need to design their tables for recording data. Consider having them write up a full lab report to turn in. This is an excellent exercise for your class learning about alcohol or enthalpy.
