Question

Why was this wrong and how do I get the right answer?

Rank the substances in this reaction from lowest to highest energetic stability:
8 CO(g) + 17 H2lg) C3H18(I) + 8 H20(1)
(least stable) H2(g) < CO(g) < H2O(1) (most stable)
(least stable) H20(1) < CO(g) < H2(g) (most stable)
く
(least stable) H2(g) < H20(1) < CO(g) (most stable)
O (least stable) CO(g) < H2(g)
H20(1) (most stable)
く
