A student proposes that when burning isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) - the same TWO products will be made as when they burned ethanol in class. 1a. What PRODUCTS should she expect to have and what EVIDENCE should she expect to observe or measure to show that those two products were formed?
Your answer should have TWO products (what comes OUT after burning isopropyl alcohol), and what could be observed in an experiment to provide evidence that each of those came out.

Explanation:

The equation for the combustion of isopropyl alcohol is shown below;

C3H8O+9/2 O2→ 3CO2+4H2O

Now our task is to carry out a simple test to confirm that both carbon dioxide and water vapor are products of the reaction.

Test for CO2:

If the products of the reaction are bubbled into lime water, the lime water gradually turns milky. This confirms the presence of CO2 as one of the products of the reaction.

Test for H2O:

If the products of the reaction are passed over white anhydrous copper II sulphate, the anhydrous crystals turn blue to show that water is present.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
