Answer

$\Delta H^o = -217.52 kJ$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta H^o_f : CaO(s) = -635.5kJ$ $\Delta H^o_f : HCl (g) = -92.3kJ$ $\Delta H^o_f : CaCl_2(s) = -795.8kJ$ $\Delta H^o_f : H_2O(g) = -241.82kJ$ $CaO(s) + 2HCl(g) --> CaCl_2(s) + H_2O(g)$ $\Delta H^o = ((-795.8) + (-241.82)) - ((-635.5) + 2*(-92.3))$ $\Delta H^o = (-1037.62) - (-820.1)$ $\Delta H^o = -217.52 kJ$
