    Standard enthalpy of combustion
    Here's the problem

    The heat of combustion for 1 mole of carbon to carbon dioxide is -410 kj. How many kj's of heat would be liberated from the complete combustion of 60.0 g of carbon?

    No tickle, this is standard molecular chemistry.

    Shrek, do you know how to calculate the mass of a single mole?

    If heat of comubustion and heat of fusion are the same thing then it should be 24600kJ

    OK. Work: if it is the heat of fusion that means that the q (or heat)= mHf (mass x heat of fusion) so -410x60 = -24600 [i forgot the negative in my first answer] the negative I'm pretty sure means it's exothermic

    No, you need to convert the mass into moles.
