Aim: To compare the energy released when different fuels are burned.
Predictions: I predict that Butanol will release the most energy when it is burned, because it has the biggest structure, and will therefore need to use more energy to break the bonds holding it together.
Plan:
Apparatus:
- Spirit burner containing different alcohol’s
- Measuring cylinder
- Thermometer
- Balance
- Clamp stand
- Boiling tube
