On the basis of the thermochemical equations:
$H_{2}O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} \to CO_{(g)} + H_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = 131 \ kJ$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = -282 \ kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \to H_{2}O_{(g)} \quad \Delta H = -242 \ kJ$
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)} \quad \Delta H = X \ kJ$
The value of $X$ will be $.... \ kJ$.
