GCSE Chemistry Investigation BURNING ALCOHOLS All fuels burn at different rates and release different amounts of energy depending how much fuel there is, what the conditions of the environment are and what fuel is used. An effective fuel releases a larger amount of energy for a smaller mass of fuel burnt. All of the alcohols I will be testing give off CO2 and H2O when they burn. Another way that a fuel can be considered efficient is if it combusts leaving less end products. If there are no end products the fuel has completely combusted thus making it an environmentally friendly fuel because of the lack of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. This would be considered environmentally friendly fuel. Research:- All fuels have covalent bonds. This means that they share a certain amount of electrons in their outer shell. This forms a strong bond between the two atoms. These are the links elements...
