... CHEMISTRY COURSEWORK GCSE Different Fuels Investigation: To investigate different alcohols. Aim: To find out which of these four alcohols: 1-ethanol 1-butanol 1-propanol 1-pentanol is the best fuel to use and also which, uses the least amount of fuel to boil a certain amount of water. Background: I looked through books and encyclopaedias to find out more about these alcohols, so that I can base my prediction on this. I found out that: 1) Propanol: - is an isomeric alcohol which means it is an isomer which means that propanol can be made up of 2 or more compounds but having the same molecular formula but different structural formula. Propanol is also a by-product of the synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Its molecular formula is CH3 CH2 CH2OH or in simple terms C3H7OH. Propanol is a colourless, flammable, fragrant liquid and it is also fairly toxic. 2) Pentanol: - is an organic compound, its
