The question is a bit open-ended...
Explanation:
Thermochemical data are usually quoted
And so for a simple combustion reaction....we might write...
(of course I did not know the value off the top of my head!)
And so HERE
By which we MEAN PRECISELY THAT the
Now of course, since we know the molar masses of products and reactants, I could convert that
So the take home message is that
