Calculate the enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of heptane?

The combustion of heptane, C7H16, occurs via the reaction:C7H16(g)+11O2(g)→7CO2(g)+8H2O(g)with heat of formation values given by the following table:Substance ΔH∘f (kJ/mol)C7H16 (g) -187.9CO2(g) −393.5H2O(g) −241.8Calculate the enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of heptane. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Almost, remember that you multiplied the standard heat values (kJ/mole) of the substances by the number of moles of the respective substance. In the end, the moles cancel.(7 moles x −393.5 kJ/mole) + (8 moles x −241.8 kJ/mole) − (1 mole x −187.9 kJ/mole) − (11 moles x 0 kJ/mole) = −4501 kJ C7H16So, the resulting energy should be in kJ, not kJ/mole....
