Aim: To measure the boiling point of ethanol

Diagram: thermometer, beaker, ethanol, water, test tube, tripod, gauze

Method: Boil __150ml of water__ in a beaker to 100degree Celsius. Turn off the __Bunsen burner__. Have __10 ml of ethanol__ in a test tube and put it in the water. Measure the temperature of the ethanol until its temperature __stop rising__.

Results: We measured __82degree Celcius__

Conclusion: We measured the temperature of ethanol as 82degree Celcius. it is actually __78degree celcius.__
