Read the question you have asked....

Explanation:

We want the enthalpy associated with the following reaction...

#C_3H_8(g) + 5O_2(g) rarr 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)+Delta#

These are extensively tabulated, and you may find a table in your text....we could find the enthalpy of combustion independently if we were given #DeltaH_f^@# for propane, carbon dioxide, and water....

i.e. #DeltaH_"reaction"^@=DeltaH_f^@"products"-DeltaH_f^@"reactants"#
