Plan Introduction In this investigation we are going to burn a variety of fuels to see which one gives off the most energy Preliminary work For the first experiment we burnt the fuels but most of the heat was lost so for the real experiment we will put heat mats around the flame to reduce heat loss. Prediction I predict that the more carbon atoms in the molecule, the more energy will be transferred and I think this because the more carbon atoms in the molecule will make more energy, as there are more carbon atoms to burn. I can show this by the term 'Break in Make out' and this means that the higher the carbon atoms in the molecule are, we will need more energy to break up the molecule. So if we need more energy to break it up then we will have more energy left over at the end. This is...
