We have begun the year with a topic that looks at the implications of using carbon compounds as fuels. So far we have met a family of hydrocarbons known as the alkanes. These are the compounds found in petrol, diesel and LPG and are currently being used around the world in enormous quantities.

In our practical work we've been comparing complete and incomplete combustion using the laboratory Bunsen burners.

 

We have also attempted to calculate the amount of energy produced from a candle flame.
