In reply to Anju. Updated. See references - mostly two papers from Rec. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas from 1952 and 1960. Earlier version of this article had numbers that were slightly off. It's been corrected.

“We’re going to use kcal/mol here (See post: Why Do Organic Chemists Use Kilocalories) but to convert to kJ/mol, multiply by 4.184 and you get the same thing.” Shouldn’t it be divide?
Love your content btw than you immensly.

The article seems to be really helpful.
Can you please share the reference for the “Linear alkanes- Heat of Combustion (graph)” you have shared in your article?

The content is vivid and helpful. Can you recommend articles that theoretically calculate ring tension?

In reply to Carlos. It's 24.75 and not 26.4

In reply to Oosman Beekawoo. Cyclohexane has zero strain, not negative strain.
