That is because each bond has a certain amount of energy stored in it therefore the more bonds the more energy is stored and more energy is released if these bonds <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/break-903849" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BREAK">BREAK</a> through combustion. Theoretical values of energy released per gram of fuel (in joules/ gram) are: Hydrogen: 142.5 KJ/g; Methane: 55.6 KJ/ g; Ethanol: 29.7 KJ/g; Butane: 49.6KJ/g.</p></body></html>
