Q

What are the steps for the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels practical?

A
  1. Put methane and some water in a beaker along with a thermometer
  2. Turn your bunsen burner oh the blue flame and heat the methane and water
  3. Record temperature at the start, end and the temperature charge
  4. Tip the heated methane and water away and put the same amount of methane and volume of water in the beaker
  5. Turn the bunsen burner on the yellow flame and heat the methane and water
  6. Record the temperature at the start, end and the temperature change
