The Relationship Between The Number of Carbon Atoms In An Alcohol And Its Standard Enthalpy Change Of Combustion. INTRODUCTION Introduction and Aim: In this experiment, I am trying to investigate the fact that if there is relationship or common pattern between the amount of carbon atoms in an alcohol and also its standard enthalpy change of combustion. When crude oil is heated naphtha is formed, this naphtha includes alkenes. Alkenes are simple forms of alcohol as they are the alcohol that has not yet been mixed with any water, H20. These alkenes come to form a homologous series this series is CnH2n. This means that for every carbon atom there is, there are two times as many hydrogen atoms. When these alkenes are hydrated with water to form an alcohol, another homologous series is formed CnH2n+1OH. This is due to the fact that from water, one hydrogen atom is covalently bonded with the methane...
