The total surface area of Asia consisting of forest, cultivated land, grass land, and desert is 4.46

Question:

The total surface area of Asia consisting of forest, cultivated land, grass land, and desert is 4.46 × 107 km2. Every year, the mass of carbon fixed by photosynthesis by vegetation covering this land surface according to the reaction 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) is about 455 × 103 kg km−2. Calculate the annual enthalpy change resulting from photosynthetic carbon fixation over the land surface per mole of carbon given the data above. Assume P = 1 bar and T = 298 K.
