Carbon and carbon monoxide burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide according to the following reactions:
$C(s) + O_2(g) \to CO_2(g)$; $\Delta H = -394 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$2CO(g) + O_2(g) \to 2CO_2(g)$; $\Delta H = -569 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The heat of formation of $1 \ mol$ of carbon monoxide is thus ..... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
