The take away is that there is a net loss of +137.67 energy lost. (But a lot of the RF has not been used/absorbed. So as is the process is not optimized.)

NaCl(aq) has a deltaH of -407 kcal/mol

Inserting into both sides of the equation, since it is spectator you get:

[(-407) + (191.17)] – [ 2(-258.83) + (-407)] = +379.5

The combustion stays at -241.83 as there is no NaCl.

You still end up with +137.67 energy lost.
