here's the idea
.. heat gained by water + heat gained by aluminum = heat released by combustion of methanol
.. the water and aluminum started at the same temp and ended at the same temp
and since there were no phase changes,
.. heat (Q) = m * Cp * dT
so..
.. (m * Cp * dT) H2O + (m * Cp * dT) Al = Q from combustion of MeOH (methanol)
and since dT was the same for both
.. [(m * Cp) H2O + (m * Cp) Al] * dT = Q from combustion of MeOH (methanol)
plugging in the data and reversing the equation
.. Q comb MeOH = [(75.0mL * 1g/1mL * 4.18J/g°C) + (44.5g * 0.900J/g°C)] * (23.9°C-16.5°C) = 2.62x10³ J
and that was for the alcohol burned and we need to convert that to kJ/mol
.. .... .. .... 2.62x10³J... ... .. 1kJ... ... 32.05g
.. Q = ------ ----- ----- ----- x ---- ---- x ---- ----- = 147 kJ/mol
.. ... .. 113.54g - 112.97g.. 1000J... .. 1 mol

that's not a very good estimate... from here

Q combustion methanol = 638 kJ/mol... LHV
