The combustion of methane  CH4  can be represented by the following balanced chemical equation:CH4 g  + 2O2 g   CO2 g  + 2H2O l The standard enthalpy change of combustion for one mole of methane  Hc  is -890.3 kJ/mol.To find the enthalpy change for the combustion of 2 moles of methane, simply multiply the standard enthalpy change of combustion for one mole by the number of moles:H =  Hc    number of moles H =  -890.3 kJ/mol    2 mol H = -1780.6 kJSo, the enthalpy change for the combustion of 2 moles of methane at standard conditions is -1780.6 kJ.
