Fuels — practice question

When alcohols are burned, heat is given out. A student is investigating how much heat is released as different alcohols burn.
(a)[3]

Plot the data values on the grid, circle the anomalous point, and draw a straight line of best fit.

(b(i))[1]

Extend the line of best fit and use it to determine the predicted temperature rise for an alcohol containing seven carbon atoms.

(b(ii))[1]

The water starts at $15^{\circ}\text{C}$. Explain why the temperature rise in (b)(i) cannot be achieved.

(b(iii))[1]

Suggest one modification to the experiment that would make it possible to obtain the temperature rise in (b)(i).
