1.
Methanol: Your calculation for the moles of methanol is correct. The calculation for the mass of the calorimeter (m) is correct, and you're right that the solution can't be negative, so it's indeed positive.
2.
Propan-2-ol: Your calculation for the heat released (q) is correct.
3.
The calculation of the number of moles needs to be better specified.
4.
Heat capacity of the calorimeter: use q = mc delta T and rearrange the equation to solve for c.
5.
Using the values you have calculated earlier, you need to write an equation where the final result of the heat capacity is expressed in J/g°C. Note that cm^3 = gram, in this context.
6.
If you think carefully, you will find the equation for calculating the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
