One of the most important sources of energy in living cells

One of the most important sources of energy in living cells is the transformation of glucose, C6H12O6 into lactic acid, C3H603. C6H12O6(s) --> 2C3H6O3(s). Determine the enthalpy change of this reaction if the heat of combustion of glucose is -2827 kJ/mol and the heat of combustion of lactic acid is -1369kJ/mol.
