The heat of combustion of carbon to $CO_2$ is $-393.5 \ kJ/mol$. The heat released upon formation of $35.2 \ g$ of $CO_2$ from carbon and oxygen gas is $..... \ kJ$.

Calculate $\Delta H \ (kJ/mol)$ for the reaction:
$2FeO_{(s)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \to Fe_2O_{3_{(s)}}$
Given $\Delta H$ values:
$(i)$ $Fe_2O_{3_{(s)}} + 3C_{(graphite)} \to 2Fe_{(s)} + 3CO_{(g)}$ : $492 \ kJ/mol$
$(ii)$ $FeO_{(s)} + C_{(graphite)} \to Fe_{(s)} + CO_{(g)}$ : $156 \ kJ/mol$
$(iii)$ $C_{(graphite)} + O_{2_{(g)}} \to CO_{2_{(g)}}$ : $-393 \ kJ/mol$
$(iv)$ $CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \to CO_{2_{(g)}}$ : $-283 \ kJ/mol$
