As learnt in

Enthalpy of combustion -

Amount of Enthalpy change when 1 mole of substance is completly burn in excess of Oxygen

- wherein

CO_{(g)}+\frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2(g)}+283\ KJ

\Delta H_{comb} \: of\: CO= 283\, KJ

 

 \Delta H = \Delta H_{p}- \Delta H_{R}

= -94.1 + 2 \times (-68.3)- (-17.9)

= -212.8
