Input Variables In this investigation, there are many different variables that will affect the amount of energy produced when alcohols are burnt. These variables are called the Input Variables and they are the following: 1) Number of Carbon atoms present (type of alcohol) 2) Concentration of alcohol (purity) 3) Amount of alcohol (volume or mass) 4) Oxygen supply (for combustion) Each of these variables will affect the amount of energy produced when an alcohol is burnt in similar ways but some variables have a larger affect than others, therefore choosing the right one is essential. If the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol is increased, its molecular structure will be larger....
