Methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol are three common alcohols. When 1.00 g of each of these alcohols is burned in the air, heat is liberated as shown by the following data: (a) methanol (CH3OH), -22.6 kJ; (b) ethanol (C2H5OH), -29.7 kJ; (c) n-propanol (C3H7OH), -33.4 kJ. Calculate the heats of combustion of these alcohols in kJ/mol.
