#H_2C=O(g) + O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g) + H_2O(l)#

And you need to quote the following data:

#i. # #DeltaH_"rxn"#

#ii.# #"Specific heat of ice"#

#iii.# #"Latent heat of fusion of water"#

#iv.# #"Specific heat of water"#

#v.# #"Latent heat of vaporization of water"#

So there are 5 pieces of data that you have not supplied. In their absence we cannot help you.
