General Chemistry 1: Enthalpy

4 Fe(s) + 3O2_2(g) \longrightarrow 2 Fe2_2O3_3(s) \triangleH = -1640 kJ

How many kJ of heat can be produced from 50.0g iron?

Find the enthalpy of reaction, \triangleHrxn_{rxn} , for the combustion of sugar (there is usually a table of enthalpies of formation in the back of chemistry textbooks)

C6_6H12_{12}O6_6 (s) + 6 O2_2 (g) \longrightarrow 6 CO2_2 (g) + 6 H2_2O (l)
