The standard enthalpy of reaction is +2.85 kJ.

#### Explanation:

We can use the standard enthalpies of formation of the reactants and products to calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction.

I list their values below the corresponding formulas.

Note that the substances must be in their most stable states at 298 K and 1 bar, so water is listed as a liquid.

ΔH_"reaction"^° = sum(ΔH_f^°("products")) - sum(ΔH_f^°("reactants")) =" [1(-393.51) + 1(0) - 1(-110.53) - 1(-285.83)] kJ" ="2.85 kJ"

This is the water gas shift reaction; for which reams of thermodynamic data are available.

#### Explanation:

$C O \left(g\right) + {H}_{2} O \left(g\right) \rightarrow C {O}_{2} \left(g\right) + {H}_{2} \left(g\right)$
