A 10.0-g sample of a mixture of CH4 and C2H4 reacts with oxygen at 25.0 degrees C and 1.00 atm to produce CO2(g) and H2O(l). If the reaction produces 519 kJ of heat, what is the mass percentage of CH4 in the mixture?

My reference says the Heat of combustion data for:
Methane: 50.009 kJ/g
Ethane: 47.794 kJ/g
Suppose we have X grams of CH4 in the mixture:
50.009 X + 47.794 (10.0 - X) = 519kJ
Obviously my referenced Heat of combustion data does not yield a solution for this problem.

But if you have a different set of data of Heat of combustion, you may get a correct solution just by following my method.
