If the heat of combustion for a specific compound is -1320.0 kj/mol and its molar mass is 71.83 g/mol, how many grams of this compound must you burn to release 543.00 kj of heat?

In answering this problem we incorporate dimension analysis. We are required to get the amount of the substance given the amount of heat released, molar mass and heat of combustion of the compound. To answer we divide the heat released by the heat of combustion and multiplying the quotient by the molar mass. Make sure units cancel.

=( -543KJ / -1321KJ/mol)*71.83g/mol = 29.55 g

Note: 543.00KJ is negative since the problem states the heat is released (this is a matter of sign convention) 

That is a lot of moles that you have
