What is the quantity of heat evolved when $6 \ g$ of carbon combines with sulphur to form $CS_2$ according to the reaction $C + 2S \rightarrow CS_2 \quad \Delta H = 92 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ (in $kJ$)?

Calculate $\Delta H$ for the reaction: $H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O_{2(g)}$ given the bond energies: $BE_{H-H} = 436 \ kJ/mol$,$BE_{O=O} = 499 \ kJ/mol$,$BE_{O-O} = 142 \ kJ/mol$,and $BE_{O-H} = 460 \ kJ/mol$. (in $kJ$)

Based on the following thermochemical equations:
$H_2O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} \to CO_{(g)} + H_{2(g)}; \Delta H = 131 \ kJ$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}; \Delta H = -282 \ kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} \to H_2O_{(g)}; \Delta H = -242 \ kJ$
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}; \Delta H = X \ kJ$
The value of $X$ is ...... $kJ$.

Given:
$(A) \ 2 \ CO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \ CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H_1^\theta = -x \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$(B) \ C \ (\text{graphite}) + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H_2^\theta = -y \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The $\Delta H^\theta$ for the reaction $C \ (\text{graphite}) + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{(g)}$ is:
