Lots of ways to do this! The correct answer is very different
from the value in the Data Booklet, so award [4] for final
answer with/without sign units not needed, but deduct [1] if
incorrect units. Accept answer in range of 427 to 428 without
penalty for sig figs.
If final answer is not correct use following;
Award [1] for evidence of cycle or enthalpy diagram or adding
of equations.
