Propanol has the lowest boiling point of the three, and adding it to water will therefore make the water boil fastest.

You're gonna need an enthalpy change of formation table.
Unbalanced: C25H52 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced: C25H52 + 38 O2 → 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
It is happening in low O2 concentration. it wll form unburnt C atoms.
Hint , in complete combustion all the carbon ends up as CO2 so 25 CO2 all the hydrogen ends up as water so 26H2O Work out the number of O2 molecules you need to balance the equation. C25H52 + 38O2 -> 25CO2 + 26H2O In reality it is difficult to ensure complete combustion- candles burn with a smokey flame indicating that carbon is not fully oxidised.
According to a few websites shown in search results, C7H16 enthalpy of formation is -224.4 kJ/mol, but double check this if you can, or if anyone else can confirm this, that would be great.
I assume you're talking about burning a candle. Nope, it's a chemical change. Candle wax is a chemical, and when you burn the candle, the wax reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor (neither of which you can see.) Any smoke you see if simply soot from the burning of the wick. (Looking a little deeper, wax, or paraffin, is a covalently bonded hydrocarbon alkane with the approximate formula C25H52. When it reacts with oxygen in a combustion reaction, the balanced equation for it is: C25H52 + 38O2 --> 25CO2 + 26H2O.)
The balanced equation would be; C25H52(s) + 38 O2(g) -> 25 CO2(g) + 26 H2O(l)
The equation for burning th candle can be this: Paraffin Wax (C25H52) + Oxygen (O2) → Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water Vapor (H2O) Following the similar train of thought, you can see that paraffin wax can be substitute with bees wax, soy wax. The nature of wax can differ, so those the compound. However, the chemical combustion formula stays the same.

A chemical name for the main ingredient of a candle is "paraffin", but this is a generic chemical name and does not correspond to any exact formula. It can be written generically as CnH(2n + 2), where n represents a collection of positive integers that are all high enough for the compounds represented for a particular choice of n to be solids at room temperature.
