Solid Sodium Peroxide (Na₂O₂) Reacts with Liquid Water Yielding Aqueous $\circ$

Solid sodium peroxide (Na₂O₂) reacts with liquid water yielding aqueous sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas. How much heat is released when 250.0 L of oxygen gas is produced from the reaction of sodium peroxide and water if the reaction is carried out in an open container at 1.000 atm pressure and 25 ^$\circ$ C
(Given: $\Delta$ H ^$\circ$ _f[Na₂O₂(s) ] = -510.9 kJ/mol; $\Delta$ H ^$\circ$ _f[NaOH(aq) ] = -469.2 kJ/mol; $\Delta$ H ^$\circ$ _f[H₂O(l) ] = -285.8 kJ/mol)

A) 141.7 kJ
B) 1740 kJ
C) 2900 kJ
D) 3330 kJ
E) 35,400 kJ
