An investigation to find out the effect of carbon chains on the boiling point of an alcohol AIM: To find out how the boiling point changes with the different amount of carbon bonds and the length of the carbon chain. To use 2 different methods and compare them, and see which method helps. Then to see which alcohols are affected the most. Scientific Knowledge: Molecules exist as distinct, separate collections of matter. The bonds within a molecule are typically quite strong, such that it's usually necessary to heat a molecule to very high energies before the bonds begin to break. For example, water is stable to decomposition to hydrogen and oxygen up to temperatures well above 500 C. In contrast, the forces between molecules tend to be relatively weak. If we chose an arbitrary scale in which the bonds between atoms within a molecule are set at 100, then the forces...
