Statement I: The magnitude of enthalpy of combustion of 2-Butene is less than that of 1-Butene.<br>< — Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

2-Butene is more stable than 1-Butene due to greater hyperconjugation. Since 2-Butene is at a lower energy state, its complete combustion will release less heat (smaller magnitude of enthalpy of combustion) than 1-Butene. Thus, both statements are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation.
