1 Butanol is a liquid fuel.
A student investigated the mass of butanol needed to increase the temperature of
100 cm3 of water by 1 °C.
The student used the following method.
step 1 add 100 cm3 of water to a beaker
step 2 measure the mass of a spirit burner containing butanol
step 3 measure the initial temperature of the water in the beaker
step 4 place the spirit burner containing butanol under the beaker of water
step 5 light the wick of the burner and start to stir the water with the thermometer
step 6 stop heating the water when the temperature of the water has increased
by 30 °C
step 7 remeasure the mass of the spirit burner containing butanol.
Figure 1 shows the apparatus used.
