The general balanced equation for the combustion reaction of CH4  +  O2      ----->    CO2   +  2H20           is CH4 (g)+ 2 O2 (g) -> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) what are the bond energies of the balanced equation, draw their lewis structure, then the enthalpy value you get for the equation is the KJ for the balanced equation. This then has to be calculated per gram of fuel.
