Part 1 - Task One:

Find and present in a properly formatted table, the following data:
a. The normal boiling points of at least 8 members of a homologous series of straight-chain 1-alkenes.
b. The enthalpy of vaporization (at the normal boiling point) of the hydrocarbons in part a.
c. The normal boiling points of at least 6 members of a homologous series of straight-chain 1-alkynes.
d. The enthalpy of vaporization (at the normal boiling point) of the alkynes in part c.
e. The normal boiling points of at least 12 members of a homologous series of unsaturated 1-alcohols.
f. The enthalpy of vaporization (at the normal boiling point) of the alcohols in part e.

A good place to start finding the data is in Knovel. Be sure to properly cite your source(s) in the table caption. Describe how you found the above data.

Part 2 - Task Two:

a. Generate two properly formatted plots using the data from Task 1: on one set of axes, plot the normal boiling points of each series as a function of carbon number; on a second set of axes, plot the enthalpy of vaporization (at the normal boiling point) of each series, as a function of carbon number. Each set of axes will have three plots on it. Be sure to properly cite your data source(s) within the figures' captions.

b. What do the plots tell you? Are there theories that would predict the behavior shown in the plots? Can you use the plots to interpolate? To extrapolate?

Part 3 - Task Three:

a. Find and give the URL's of at least three "online plagiarism checkers"

b. Find and give the URL of at least one location where it is possible to find and download copies of lab reports from previous semesters of CHE 352.

c. The ASU Libraries website provides learning materials about plagiarism. Using the guidance given in these materials, provide:
i. An example of a properly quoted and cited item of information about plagiarism, derived from the internet
ii. An example of a properly paraphrased and cited item of information about plagiarism, also derived from the internet.
d. Describe at least two items of information from your reading about plagiarism that concern or surprise you.
