Based on the following thermochemical reactions:
$H_2O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} \rightarrow CO_{(g)} + H_{2(g)} ; \Delta H = 131 \ kJ$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} ; \Delta H = -282 \ kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(g)} ; \Delta H = -242 \ kJ$
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} ; \Delta H = x \ kJ$
The value of $x$ will be:

  • A
    $-393 \ kJ$
  • B
    $-655 \ kJ$
  • C
    $+393 \ kJ$
  • D
    $+655 \ kJ$
