Find out which of five chosen fuels; Ethanol, Propan-1-ol, Butan-1-ol, Hexan-1-ol and Octan-1-ol gives out the most heat energy.
... versus the others in the compound. This type of bond occurs when the atoms involved differ greatly in electro negativity.
Prediction:
I predict that the more energy given out, the higher the number of moles.
Method:
Equipment:
*
* Ethanol in fuel burner
* Propan-1-ol ...
