the butane to have a reasonable vapor pressure so they are not very good for camping in temperature below about 0 centigrade. Assume the enthalpy of vaporization of butane is 24.3 kj/mol . if the camp stove fuel tank contains 190.g liquid c4h10 how much heat energy transfer is required to vaporize all of the butane?

I must perform a lab to prove which fuel (out of ethanol, isopropanol or liquid paraffin) would be the best for cooking for interior camping. How would I show, with a lab, the best cooking fuel to use?
