Find the enthalpies of the combustion reactions for methane through n-octane. Plot them versus the number of carbon atoms in the molecule, and determine an equation that gives ΔH for the combustion of a given hydrocarbon. Then use the equation to predict the enthalpy of combustion for n-C12H26 and compare it to experimental values.
