Combustion, heat Methanol, determination

Determine the value of the heat of combustion of methanol by using the bond energies in Table 12.1. Compare it to that of methane. 

In the flame radiation scaling technique, mass loss rate is measured with co-flowing air having various oxygen mass fractions. Flame heat flux is calculated by using the mass loss rate data in Eq. (53.5), along with the values of the heat of gasification and surface radiation loss measured in pyrolysis [13], The convective component of the flame heat flux is determined from the combustion of methanol dominated by convective heat transfer [13]. The flammability... 

Methanol (CH3OH) has been suggested as a fuel to replace gasoline. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of methanol, find AW, and determine the mass of carbon dioxide emitted per kJ of heat produced. Use the information from the previous exercise to calculate the same quantity for octane, CgHig. How does methanol compare to octane with respect to global warming ... 

To determine the degree of acylation of polymers, heat 500 mg ketone resin, 500 mg hydroxylamine HCl, and 2 mL pyridine overnight at 105°C in a closed tube. Collect the resin on a fritted filter wash successively with DCM, ethanol, water, ethanol, methanol, and DCM and dry. The IR spectrum should show complete loss of the C=0 band. Combustion analysis for N gives the degree of acylation.
