I am going to investigate the enthalpy change of combustion for the alcohol homologous series. I will investigate how alcohols with increasing number of carbons affect the enthalpy change when an alcohol goes under combustion.
The energy that alcohols release when being used is called the enthalpy change of combustion. This is defined as
"Standard enthalpy change of combustion, is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance burns completely in oxygen under standard conditions (298K, 100 KPa and 1 Molar) with all products in their standard state" (Collins advanced Chemistry)
Enthalpy…
