C2H5OH+3O22CO2+3H2O+1367  KJ

C+O2CO2+393  KJ

H2+12O2H2O+285  KJ

 Heat of combustion of ethylalcohol = Total heat formation of products – Total heat of formation of reactants

1367=[2(ΔHfCO2)+3(ΔHfH2O)][(ΔHfC2H5OH)+(ΔHfO2)]

1367=[2(373)+(285)][ΔHfC2H5OH+Zero]

1367=[786855][ΔHfC2H5OH]

1367=[1641][ΔHfC2H5OH]

ΔHfC2H5OH=1641+1367=274  KJ
