How does changing the structural isomerism in hexane (hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,3-dimethylbutane and 2,2-dimethylbutane) influence its enthalpy of combustion measured using calorimetry?HL

Criteria Feedback
- Your research question is focused, measurable, and clearly situated in a relevant chemistry context.
- You include several sensible methodological controls and give a procedure that is largely reproducible.
- You justify the choice of calorimetry in a way that fits the investigation well.
- The chemical rationale could be more precise, especially in how branching relates to enthalpy of combustion.
- Key validity factors such as calorimeter calibration, heat exchange correction, and probe precision are not fully addressed.
- Some procedural details still leave small but important ambiguities for complete replication.

Criteria Feedback
- Your raw data and processed tables are generally well organised and easy to follow.
- You process the results into useful derived quantities and include a relevant statistical test.
- You show some awareness that uncertainty and repeat measurements matter.
- The calculation method is not fully transparent because the working is not shown with enough detail.
- There are traceability and precision issues in the tables, including inconsistent labels and presentation.
- Uncertainty is not treated rigorously, and the effect of measurement variation is not incorporated into the interpretation.
