Answer

-173.0 J/K

Work Step by Step

We find: $\Delta S^{\circ}_{rxn}=\Sigma n_{p}S^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}S^{\circ}(reactants)$ $=[2\,mol\times S^{\circ}(CO_{2},g)]-[2\,mol\times S^{\circ}(CO,g)+ 1\,mol\times S^{\circ}(O_{2},g)]$ $=[2\,mol(213.6\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1})]-[2\,mol(197.6\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1})+1\,mol(205.0\,Jmol^{-1}K^{-1})]$ $=-173.0\,JK^{-1}$
