Chemistry: Energetic question

5. When ethanamide (CH3CONH2) burns inoxygen the carbon is converted into carbon dioxide, the hydrogen is convertedinto water and the nitrogen forms nitrogen gas.
Enthalpy of formation (DH) /kJ mol–1
ethanamide –320
carbon dioxide –394
water –286
Using the data above,which one of the following is a correct value for the enthalpy of combustion ofethanamide?
A –1823kJ mol–1B –1183kJ mol–1C –1000kJ mol–1D –360kJ mo1–1

Help !!Thank you so much

Yes i did, but i didn't know how to work out the enthalpy of combustion of ethanamide just by using value of enthalpy of formation

Write out the equation for the combustion of ethanamide and draw a Hess Cycle.
