Investigating Energy When Fuels Burn Plan and aim My aim is to find out how much energy is released when different alcohols are burnt. There are many different variables including: * The type of alcohol. * Mass of alcohol in moles. * Mass of water in volume. * The height and shape of the can. * The starting temperature in (C. * The temperature rise of water. My input variable will be different types of alcohol. My output variable is the temperature rise of the water because I need this to be able to calculate the amount of energy released. I will use the following formula to calculate the amount of energy released by each alcohol: ENERGY = Mass of water x 4.2 (specific heat capacity) x temperature rise I will control the mass of fuel, mass of water, height and shape of the can and the starting temperature. I am going to control the other possible variables to make...
