This definitely calls for a trip to the library... it will be
a very good learning opportunity.  The problem is an elementary
exercise in thermochemistry.  Any introductory text will give
you all that you need.  You need to do an accounting of the
heat of formation and of the sensible heat in the reactants and
products.  The book will give you data... the math is simple.
