Investigation to compare the heat energy produced by combustion of various Alcohols Aim: To investigate how different alcohols produce different amounts of heat energy through combustion. I will be heating water using different alcohols as fuels and measuring the amount of fuel consumed. From working out how much fuel has been used I can work out how much bond energy has released from the molecules of the alcohol. From those results I will be able to say which alcohol is the best for combustion and which one is the worst to combust. * A good fuel should produce a lot of heat energy and use a small amount of fuel. (economical) * A bad fuel uses a lot of fuel and produces less heat energy. (non-economical) E=mc E= Energy M= mass of water C= Specific heat = Difference in temperature Using this equation I will be able to find out which fuel gives out the...
