Ethanol on fire!

In year 11 Chemistry last week we were learning how to calcualte and compare the amount of energy released by various types of fuel in kJ/mole. Some heavy calculations and serous brain power!

 The girls carried out an experiment, testing 4 fuels including ethanol, paper, wax and sugar puffs. Afterwords, they calculated the energy released by each fuel. Fantastic work girls! I was impressed and am so proud that you figured out how to do those extensive calculations using nothing but your "smarticles";)

Can you guess which fuel released most energy?
