Answer

177.8 kJ/mol

Work Step by Step

$\Delta H_{rxn}^{\circ}=\Sigma n\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(\text{products})-\Sigma m\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(\text{reactants})$ where $m$ and $n$ denote the stoichiometric coefficients for the reactants and products. Then, $\Delta H_{rxn}^{\circ}=$ $[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(CaO)+\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(CO_{2})]-\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(CaCO_{3})$ $=[(-635.6\,kJ/mol)+(-393.5\,kJ/mol)]-(-1206.9\,kJ/mol)$ $=177.8\,kJ/mol$
