Glycerol, \(\text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{O}_3\text{(l)}\), is an organic byproduct of biodiesel production that can be utilized as a liquid fuel. The table below provides standard enthalpies of formation, \(\Delta H^\circ_f\), at \(298\text{ K}\).

Substance\(\Delta H^\circ_f\ (\text{kJ/mol})\)
\(\text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{O}_3\text{(l)}\)\(-668\)
\(\text{CO}_2\text{(g)}\)\(-394\)
\(\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}\)\(-286\)
\(\text{H}_2\text{O(g)}\)\(-242\)
\(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\)\(0\)

Based on the data in the table, what is the standard enthalpy of combustion, \(\Delta H^\circ_{\text{comb}}\), for liquid glycerol at \(298\text{ K}\)?
