Boiling an egg! Help!!?
On top of these three fuels, I can use other common alcohol fuel alternatives that may be more effective. Which is the best alcohol fuel to use in such a situation? I doubt its one with more carbon atoms like the tea-light candle as incomplete combustion would occur. Some online sites suggest using butanol as it is highly similar to gasoline and produces more energy than ethanol or methanol. Is it true? Why?
On top of that, I have to select the medium the egg will be being immersed in. I doubt water will be good because it has a very high heat capacity. Is there any better alternative to water? One with a low heat capacity and high boiling point? Suggestions please and a million thanks in advance!!
Answer:
In my opinion the tea-light candle is the best.
It has the highest standard entalphy change of combustion among all the three fuels, due to the large number of bonds in 1 mol of the substance.
octanol
