Use the Bond Enthalpy Data Given to Estimate the Heat

Use the bond enthalpy data given to estimate the heat released when 50.0 g of propane gas, C₃H₈, burns in excess oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water vapor at 25°C. BE(C-C) = 347 kJ/mol
BE(C=O in CO₂) = 799 kJ/mol
BE(C-H) = 414 kJ/mol
BE(O-H) = 460 kJ/mol
BE(O=O) = 498.7 kJ/mol

A) 1360 kJ
B) 2240 kJ
C) 2370 kJ
D) 1540 kJ
E) 1970 kJ
