A Level Chemistry - enthalpy changes

Hi, could someone clarify how you'd calculate the enthalpy change for each of these:

And a rough idea of what practical experiment you should carry out to calculate these enthalpy changes? I know for the combustion of alcohols you'd set up a spirit burner and a calorimeter and record the temp change of the water, but how about for the others?

Would really appreciate any help :smile:
measure the change in temperature
make sure you know all the masses (or moles etc.) of the species involved, including any water present
polystyrene cup, lid, thermometer
