Kerosene

Wax (candle)

lamp oil

I know its not much to work with, but thats all of the information that I have. I just need the molecular formulas to finish a table on the energy content of fuels.

Thanks for your help.

If you have just a general formula for those, that will work great. I understand that those don't always have the same structure/make up

Kerosene = C12H26

Wax (candle)= C25H52

lamp oil = C10H18O (citronella?)

thats all from wikipedia i believe it to be accurate
