First let us calculate the number of moles of 5 grams of a sample given molar mass of 30.07 g/mol

moles = 5 g / (30.07 g/mol)

moles = 0.166 mol

From the equation, there are 2 moles for the reaction therefore the heat of reaction is:

δhrxn = (259 kJ / 0.166 mol) * (2 / 2)

δhrxn = 3,120.48 kJ / 2 mol
