Aim. I am going to test five fuels, to find out which is the most effective for heating. I am going to calculate the predicted energy output for each fuel and then test this. The five fuels I am going to test are: * Methanol * Butanol * Propanol * Ethanol * Pentanol Prediction I predict that the more chemical bonds each fuel has the more effective it will be at heating. I also think that the more chemical bonds there are the longer the fuel will burn for, I think this because there are more bonds to be broken and therefore more energy released when this happens. I calculated the predicted bond energy for each the fuels I was going to use. I think that; Pentanol will produce 74.4kJ of energy. Propanol will produce 68.3kJ of energy. Butanol will produce 33.9kJ of energy. Ethanol will produce 28kJ of energy Methanol will produce 21.2kJ of energy. Despite this I think that Butanol may burn better...
