Find enthalpy of amino acid glycine


The amino acid glycine, C2H5NO2, is one of the compounds used by the body to make proteins. The equation for its combustion is

4C2H5NO2(s) ± 902(g)→8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l) + 2N2(g)

For each mole of glycine that burns, 973.49 kJ of heat is liberated. Use this information, plus values of ΔHf° for the products of combustion, to calculate ΔHf° for glycine.
