C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)+400kJ1g mole C(s)+12O2(g)CO(g)+100kJ0.6×1000=600gm600×60100 (Pure Carbon) =360gm=36012=30 mole (Pure Carbon) 
Carbon converted into CO2=3030×60100
= 12 mole
and carbon converted in CO =30×60100=18 mole 
Energy generated during II equation
=18×100=1800kJ
Energy generated During 1st reaction
=12×400=4800 Total =1800+4800=6600kJ
