4. evaluate the information contained in this calculation and complete the
following sentence: this calculation shows that burning grams of methane [takes
in/gives off] energy.

Since you did not give a calculation, I will just give an example. Suppose that you are to burn 5 kg of methane (CH4) from 0 to 10°C. The specific heat capacity of methane is 4.475 kJ/kg-K.

H = mCpT

H = (5kg)( 4.475 kJ/kg-K)(10-0)

H = 223.75 kJ

Because the enthalpy is positive in value, methane takes in heat.
