... To Investigate Whether There is a Link Between the Number of Carbon Atoms in Alcohol and its Standard Enthalpy of Combustion Contents Introduction Alcohol is the common family name for the hydrocarbon group Alkanols. The generic formula of these organic compounds is: Cn.H(2n+1).OH The first example from the alkanol family is: Methanol - C.H3.OH From the generic formula we can see that different types of alcohols will have different number of carbon atoms. In this project I intend to investigate whether there is a link between the number of carbon atoms in alcohol and its standard enthalpy of combustion ?H. Planning Different members of the alcohol family have different numbers of carbon atoms and should therefore have different enthalpy ?H values. The complete combustion of an alcohol is when it reacts with oxygen in the air to form water and carbon dioxide. In this process energy is required to break the existing chemical bonds (endothermic reaction) and energy
