Reaction 1: C(s)+12O2(g)→CO(g)\text{C}(s)+\tfrac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(g)\rightarrow \text{CO}(g) has ΔH1=−111 kJ\Delta H_1 = -111\,\text{kJ}. Reaction 2: CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g)\text{CO}(g)+\tfrac{1}{2}\text{O}_2(g)\rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) has ΔH2=−283 kJ\Delta H_2 = -283\,\text{kJ}. Determine the enthalpy change, in kJ, for the overall reaction C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g)\text{C}(s)+\text{O}_2(g)\rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g).
