Organic Derivatives Of Water And Carbon Dioxide

Combustion Reaction: A chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces heat.

* When we burn hydrocarbon fuels in the air the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel are completely oxidized. They produce carbon dioxide and water.

The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel, which leaves a clean test tube. Incomplete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce some oxides with less oxygen than the most common oxides. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to react

The energy released during combustion reactions goes into the surrounding atmosphere because the energy does not disappear it simply goes into the atmosphere of a surrounding area. For example, during the Cheeto experiment the fire being released is the energy but when the fire is out the rest of that energy is moved onto its surrounding like people and the air. One observation that I made during my experiment was when the mass of Cheeto was too big and when the Cheeto began to burn it released its energy onto the can which heated the water inside and that also created energy because the water releases steam and that goes into the air and the people around it. The fire being released wasn't always as expected because if the Cheeto was too big

An Investigation into the Enthalpies of the Combustion of Alcohols = == == == ==

Generally ethanol is an alcohol found in alcoholic drinks. At 100% concentration, it is pure and a colourless liquid with a strong odour (due to weak Van der Wall forces :D. Ethanol is produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates in yeast cells and is used frequently as a solvent.

Alcoholic beverages are the only consumable products in the U.S. that do not have nutrition labels. Consumers are being kept in the dark about serving size, alcoholic content, calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein, cholesterol and other nutrition information. Alcohol, specifically ethyl alcohol or ethanol, is produced by fermenting the starch or sugar in various fruits and grains. Alcoholic beverages produced by fermentation and distillation include beer that is usually about 4 to 6 % alcohol, wine that is usually 7 to 15% alcohol, and hard liquor which is about 45% alcohol.

In a combustion reaction, a compound or element reacts with oxygen, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, alcohol is a colorless volatile flammable liquid that is produced by the natural fermentation of sugars and is the intoxicating constituent of wine, beer, spirits, and other drinks, and is also used as an industrial solvent and as fuel (Fowler, H. W., Fowler, F. G., & Murray, J. A. (1964). The concise Oxford dictionary f

Other cases involve burning hydrogen and oxygen without carbon and reactions that create carbon monoxide Explain the different between complete and incomplete combustion. What observation can you make to distinguish between the two? Incomplete combustion is also a reaction between oxygen and fuel but the products are carbon monoxide,

The water boiling in the paper cup undergo complete combustion to produce carbon dioxide gas with equation of C(g) + O2(g) CO2(g). However the paper cup doesn’t react with surrounding oxygen to undergo combustion.

Ethanol or as we know as alcohol in our beverages can be made from any fruit or vegetable that performs photosynthesis which produces glucose shown As required as the reactant of the previous equations.

As we all know, alcohol is a product that has provided a variety of functions for people in the world. Alcoholic beverages have been consumed by humans in the very early time, they were one of the most popular drink and have been widely used in everywhere of the world. Also they were used medicinally, chemically, physically and so on.

Fuel is a less combustible material that burns slow and steady once lit, like tree trunks, coal and oil. To start a fire, first the tinder is lit on fire. Then the kindling on top of it catches fire. When the kindling produces enough heat, the fuel will catch on fire. When all three ingredients are present in the correct amount, oxygen, heat, and fuel will start a fire and keep it burning.

The aim of this experiment was to test the heat of combustion over a period of time, and the energy required to combust alcohols with different carbon chain levels. It was hypothesised that the higher the carbon chain of the alcohol present, the faster the heat of combustion will occur. Meaning more energy will be released for a higher carbon chain. After calculating the results from the experiment it was found that the hypothesis was partially supported. The reasoning for this is as the alcohol that posses a higher carbon chain, generally increased there reaction rates. However there were a few exceptions to this rule.
