    Environmental issues are always followed by economic concerns, usually paid for by an innocent party for trusting a large company to “stimulate” the local economy. Fracking needs land in specific areas of the world to work at and millions of dollars are paid to individuals, towns, states or federal governments to work on those lands. However, landowners without economic degrees and who are blinded by the large amount of money do not consider the impact on their beloved land and cause their neighbors to pay for the rebuilding, mitigation, and pollution that is brought in to their towns without their permission. This can also affect politics at all levels local, state, and federal in the way that politicians are fighting for or against these…

    CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon chain will have a higher heat of combustion, because as there are more carbon atoms, more energy will be released as a result of the breaking of the covalent bonding and the forming of bonding as the final product.
