Combustion Of Alcohols
this reaction is:H H | | H - C - C - O- H + 3[O=O] ? 1/2[O=C=O] + 3[H-O-H] | | H HThis reaction is exothermic, as heat is given out. This is because the amount reactant energy is more than the produc ... l diagram: Reaction co-ordinate ?H is the heat content, which is the enthalpy, which is negative in exothermic reactions as the diagram shows that energy is 'lost' as heat. Enthalpy is defined as the ...
