Here's the solution to determine the enthalpy change:
b)
To determine the enthalpy change for the reaction $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) \to \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(\text{l})$, we will use Hess's Law and the given enthalpy of combustion for ethanol, along with the standard enthalpy of combustion for ethene.
We are given:
1. $\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(\text{l}) + 3\text{O}_2(\text{g}) \to 2\text{CO}_2(\text
