You should have a big table of heats of formation at hand, because you'll probably need it more often.
  • Some are available on the Internet. Keywords "Heat of formation", "enthalpy of formation" or "thermodynamic properties" combined with "chemical substances" or similar.
  • The "CRC handbook of Chemistry and Physics" has such a table and must be available where people study chemistry.

Nist is sometimes helpful (= when free)
http://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/formula/C4H8
there you find the "Gas phase thermochemistry data" of the three gasses.
