Given reaction is:

3 \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{Al} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}+3 \mathrm{Ca}

We know the standard reaction enthalpy formula-

\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{0}=\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{0} \text { (Products) }-\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{0} \text { (Reactants) }

=\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{0}\left(\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\right)-3 \times \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}^{0}(\mathrm{CaO})

= – 1675 –3 (–635)

= 230 kJ

Ans = 230
