Investigate the amount of energy released when different fuels burn

  Aim To investigate the heat of combustion and the safety of three alcohols and therefore determine the most effective fuel for a camp fire. Hypothesis If the three alcohols, 1- Butanol, 1- Pentanol, and 1-Hexanol are combusted, Hexanol will release the largest quantity of heat energy and therefore produce the hottest campfire. This is because Hexanol has a greater number of bonds and therefore a larger total bond energy. This results in a higher heat of combustion as more energy (in the form

cave to the modern age. When it is used safely it is an invaluable tool but when it is abused or not used appropriately it destroys life and property. As society became more modern, so did the need for an organized fire department. Despite the best efforts from fire departments to educate the public about fire safety, the loss of life and property damage stills occurs to this day. When a fire occurs, fire departments suppress the fire and a fire investigator typically investigate the fire in order to

Is Nuclear Fission a Viable Alternative to Fossil Fuels as a Power Source For Australia? Australia has developed something of an allergic reaction to any mention of uranium or nuclear energy. With fears of its safety and impact on the environment again heightened by the devastating nuclear event that was the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Blessed as we are with abundant reserves of coal, oil and gas, we have never had to ask the hard questions many other nations have had to ask – the answer

I am going to investigate the enthalpy change of combustion for the alcohol homologous series. I will investigate how alcohols with increasing number of carbons affect the enthalpy change when an alcohol goes under combustion. The energy that alcohols release when being used is called the enthalpy change of combustion. This is defined as "Standard enthalpy change of combustion, is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance burns completely in oxygen under standard conditions (298K, 100 KPa

Introduction In 2015, transport energy demand in New Zealand was up 2305.56 GWh, the largest annual increase in 20 years (MBIE, 2016). This energy came from non-renewable fossil fuels, and as such is not sustainable in the long term. The subject of this research is to investigate the impact of targeting 20% of the light passenger fleet being electric. The current electric vehicle fleet is less than 1% of the light passenger fleet, which consists mainly of petrol and diesel vehicles (Ministry of

much energy is stored in different types of fuels and see which one would be better to purchase for a camping trip. The process that was used to find this was called calorimetery and the results from this were compared to the price per milliliter for each fuel. The fuel that was the best to purchase over all was deemed to be Ethanol. Ethanol was the alcohol fuel that held the highest amount of energy compared to the price and had the highest rating compared with the other fuels. The other fuels tested

nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons— into the atmosphere however, it wasn’t until recently that the amounts being produced are shoving the Earth into a sixth extinction. While the causes of this upcoming extinction are constantly debated on it has earned itself the name Holocene extinction. This name is derived from the theory that humans are the main contributors to this extinction. To investigate the cause Elizabeth Kolbert, and American journalist and professor at Williams College, took the world

elements, fire, water, air and earth. For thousands of years Democritus’s Atomos theory was only believed to have been speculation, until the early 1800’s when an english chemist named John Dalton who used the theory of atomos or atoms to explain why elements always reacted in small ratios of whole numbers and how water absorbs different gasses for example that water absorbs carbon dioxide faster than nitrogen. From this Dalton claimed that: • All elements are made up of small indivisible particles
