Suppose you use a match to ignite a sheet of paper from your notebook, and allow the fire to continue until the burning stops

If you could measure all the energy in the resulting ombustion products, and all the energy in the heat released (including whatever increase in disorder has occurred), would you predict this amount to be more than, less than, or the same amount as the amount of potential energy in the starting sheet of paper? (You should ignore the activation energy provided by the match to light the paper.) A. more energy than the paper B. less energy than the paper C. the same energy as the paper
