“God save you Ebeneezer! And a merry Christmas to you!” bellowed a voice from the window. Through the foggy glass‚ Scrooge could make out the rather large outline of none other than Peggy Harker‚ a worker at the local orphanage. Scrooge crinkled his nose in disgust and shooed her away with a flick of his hand. Peggy Harker‚ persistent as the rain during a wet monsoon month‚ continued to say “My oh my‚ it is extremely cold… mind if I come in?” in which Scrooge acknowledged with a harsh grunt.

Products of the combustion of methane include carbon dioxide‚ water‚ soot and carbon monoxide. Soot and carbon monoxide are produced during the incomplete combustion of methane. Methane is combusted to generate energy in power plants‚ the formula for the combustion of methane is CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O. Methane will combust

Aim To investigate the effect of molar mass on the molar heat of combustion of adjacent members of a homologous alcohol series. Introduction Chemists refer to the energy stored in a substance as the heat content or enthalpy of the substance.
