(b)
Gas used in camping stoves are available in canisters, which contain mainly butane. To
determine the standard enthalpy change of combustion of butane, a student heated a beaker
of water on the stove and measured the temperature rise. The canister was weighed before and
after the experiment so as to obtain the mass of gas used. The table on the right gives the results
obtained.
mass of butane used = 3.4 g
temperature rise = 44 C
