... Investigating the structure of a fuel and the amount of energy released during combustion Aim We are trying to find out whether an increase in the number of carbon atoms and different structural formulae affect the amount of energy released during combustion. We have chosen to investigate 4 different alcohols: Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol and Octanol. Three of the alcohol's we are using have 2 different structures (these are called isomers): · Propanol = Propan-1-ol and Propan-2-ol · Butanol = Butan-1-ol and Butan-2-ol · Octanol = Octan-1-ol and Octan-2-ol We haven't chosen to use the different structures, because we only wish to investigate the number of carbon atoms in different alcohols, and see whether a different number of carbon atoms will affect the amount of energy released during combustion. Background Information Alcohol's I know that the alcohols I have chosen all produce an exothermic reaction during combustion and the products of the combustion of alcohols are water and carbon dioxide. The basic
