Does this lead to systematic or random errors? Suggesthow these errors could be decreased. AimTo calculate the enthalpy of combustion of two fuels: ethanol andpropanolIntroductionA fuel is burnt and as much of the energy released as possible istransferred to water by heating.Using the fact that 4.18 J of energy are required to raise 1 g of waterby 1 °C, the amount of energy given out by the fuel can becalculated. This can then be converted to the amount of energygiven out per mole in order to calculate the enthalpy change ofcombustion of the fuel.
