These are some pratice problems out of my book that are similiar to my homework problems online but they dont show work since they are even. Someone mind showing a example, really apperciate it.

How many grams of methane [CH4(g)] must be combusted to heat 1.20 kg of water from 23.0°C to 85.0°C, assuming 1.00E2% efficiency in heat transfer?

And

At one time, a common means of forming small quantities of oxygen gas in the laboratory was to heat KClO3:
2KClO3(s)--->2KCl(s)+3O2(g) H=-89.4kJ

For this reaction, calculate for the formation of the following:

a) 0.805 mol of O2
b)10.85g KCl

And

Thanks Steve and on that first one. That is all the books gives me so your guess is as good as mine.

a) 0.805molO2 x -89.4kJ/3molO2 = -72.0kJ to three sig figs.

b) Atomic weights: K=39.1 Cl=35.5 KCl=74.6

10.85gKCl x 1molKCl/74.6gKCl x -89.4kJ/2molKCl = 13.0kJ

You don't give the heat of combustion of CH4, so I can't do that.
