When ethanol burns in oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide and water. If the heat of the combustion reaction is -1237.7kJ/mol, the heat of formation of water is -241.8kJ/mol, and the heat of formation of carbon dioxide is -393.5kJ/mol, what is the heat of formation of ethanol? (Ethanol is C2H5OH). *Do not need to include units in your final answer.* Your answer may be off due to rounding but round to 1 decimal place.
