Well, the question is not too much clear but I assume you want to know about the heat of combustion.
So, Heat of combustion of a substance is actually the heat which is liberated when 1 mole of substance undergoes the full and complete combustion with the help of oxygen while pressure is kept constant.
So Molar mass o anhydrous oxalic acd( C2H2O4) is equals to 90.03 g/mol
In the question it I mentioned that 1 g oxalic acid combustion at 25 degree celsius gives heat = 2.835 KJ
Thus, 90 g oxalic acid combustion at 25 degree celsius will liberat heat = 2.835 * 90.03 = 255.23 KJ/mole (delta H)

Molar mass of C2H2O4 = 90g
Burning of 1g of C2H2O4 = - 2.835KJ
Burning of 90g of C2H2O4 =90×-2.835
=-255.15kJ
