The experiment involves comparing the heat of combustion of glucose with that of palmitic acid. It is hypothesized that the heat of combustion of palmitic acid will be higher than that of glucose. Similarly, sub-hypotheses include that the rate of temperature increase will be greater for palmitic acid compared to the glucose.
