The combustion of methane, CH4, releases 890.5 kJ per mole of methane combusted. How much carbon dioxide (in grams) was produced in a reaction that released 3145 calories?

Determine the mass of CO2 (in grams) produced by burning enough of the following fuels to release -100 kJ of heat. Methane CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) -> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g) ΔH = -802.3 kJ/mol

Methane burns with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as a gas. The balanced thermochemical equation is $$ \mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \atop \Delta H^{\circ}=-802 \mathrm{~kJ} $$ How much methane, in grams, must be burned to release $432 \mathrm{~kJ}$ of heat?
