Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The isomer expected to have the greater heat of combustion is to be identified, and the reason for it is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
If two molecules are isomers of each other, they have precisely the same combustion products. As a result, any difference in the heat of combustion must be attributed to differences in stabilities of the
