hey! so I am doing PAG 3.3 determination of the enthalpy changes of combustion (OCR A) and stuck on the questions:
2) Evaluate your results by comparing your experimental value to the accepted enthalpy change for the combustion of the alcohol and suggest the reasons why there is a difference
reason I am stuck:
- WHERE ARE THESE ACCEPTED ENTHALPY VALUES?!? I’m trying to look online but everywhere gives different values so idk which one to use. if anyone can help and give the values for: methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, but an-1-ol and pentan-1-ol that would be appreciated
4) calculate the enthalpy change of combustion for methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol and pentanol using bond enthalpies. (you will need to look up values for relevant bonds)
reason I am stuck:
- is this a hess’ law question or am I overthinking this aha?
- where do I find the values for the relevant bonds 😭
thank you so much!
