02 (g) = 0 kj/mol

CO2 (g) = - 393.5 kj/mol

H20 (g) = - 241.8 kj/mol

H total = - 5094 kJ

5094kJ = [8 (-393.5) + 9 (-241.8) ] - [X + 12.5 (0) ]

-5094 kJ = [-3148 + (-2176.2) ] - [x + 0]

-5094 kJ = - 5324.2 - x

add - 5324.2 to - 5094

to get + 230.2 = - x

move the negative to the other side

and you get - 230 kj/mol
