What is one mole of Butanol? Chemistry Investigation?

If you have the heat of combustion of say ethanol and propanol, you can estimate butanol's heat of combustion by using the homologous series. Each member differs by a CH2 unit, so it you have delta H for ethanol and propanol , the difference is delta H for C2" ... add this to delta H for propanol to get value for butanol.
