The Energy Content Of Different Fuels

... Chemistry Coursework The Energy Content Of Different Fuels PLAN: Introduction: Different fuels produce different amounts of energy when they are burnt in oxygen. I am going to investigate the different energy contents of alcohols. I am going to use just alcohols because when I find out the energy per mole produced by different alcohols I can compare them. I am going to use Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol and Pentanol. When fuels are burnt in oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are formed. The combustion also produces heat. This is because when the alcohol burns energy from the heat is used to break the bonds and when they form carbon dioxide and water they are making bonds and energy is released. This energy becomes heat. I am going to investigate how much energy is produced by each alcohol I burn and compare the results when I have finished. ? Prediction: For my prediction I am going to calculate
