Q. Compute the heat of formation of liquid methyl alcohol in $kJ\, mol ^{-1}$, using the following data. Heat of vaporisation of liquid methyl alcohol $=38\, kJ / mol$. Heat of formation of gaseous atoms from the clements in their standard states:
$H =218\, kJ / mol , C =715\, kJ / mol , O =249\, kJ / mol$.
Average bond energies:
$C - H =415 \,kJ / mol ,$
$ C - O =356\, kJ / mol ,$
$O - H =463 \,kJ / mol$
