Is there a link between where the functional group is located in an organic compound and the compound's heat of combustion? It has been mentioned before that it is difficult to accurately get the enthalpy of a reaction experimentally; thus, enthalpies of formation are used instead when calculatin...

I was studying about oxidising flames and realized that sodium burns with a bright yellow flame the wavelength of which is around 588 nm then I searched for emission spectra of sodium and found that the lines around 588 nm are the most intense ones so it appears yellow. Same happened with potassi...
