The greater the number of carbon atoms in a compound, the greater its heat of combustion

What will be an ideal response?


Examining Table 6.1, we see that coal (presumably having similar numbers of
carbon atoms in the molecules) have varying heats of combustion. There seems no direct
correlation as suggested.
