GCSE Chemistry · key term
A substance burned to release energy for heating, transport or electricity generation.
Used by Edexcel
Specification 8.4 · Paper 2
Revise: Uses of FractionsSome fractions are burned as fuels. Burning transfers chemical energy to heat surroundings, move vehicles or generate electricity. Bitumen is different: it is mainly valued as a surfacing material rather than as a fuel.
Match each fraction to the precise use named in the question. In particular, kerosene is aircraft fuel, whereas diesel oil is used by some cars and trains.
Do not describe bitumen as a fuel: its required uses are surfacing roads and roofs.
