A group of students was conducting an experiment to determine the molar heat of combustion of ethanol.
They set up the equipment as shown in the diagram below.
They used 200 mL (= 200 g) of water.
The mass of the spirit burner and ethanol at the beginning of the experiment was 82.5 g and at the conclusion the mass of the spirit burner and remaining ethanol was 81.2 g.
The maximum temperature rise of the water was found to be 26°C.
