### Understanding Enthalpy Changes in Chemical Reactions

Given the reactions:

1. \( \text{X}(s) + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XO}(s) \)  
   \( \Delta H = -651.7 \, \text{kJ} \)

2. \( \text{XCO}_3(s) \rightarrow \text{XO}(s) + \text{CO}_2(g) \)  
   \( \Delta H = +413.3 \, \text{kJ} \)

The task is to determine \( \Delta H \) for the following reaction:

\[ \text{X}(s) + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2(g) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XCO}_3(s) \]

### Solution:

To find \( \Delta H \) for the target reaction, we apply Hess's Law, which states that the total enthalpy change is the same no matter how a reaction is carried out in steps, provided the initial and final conditions are the same.

1. Reverse the direction of reaction 2 to match the formation of \( \text{XCO}_3(s) \):
   \[ \text{XO}(s) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XCO}_3(s) \]
   The enthalpy change for the reverse reaction is the negative of the forward reaction:
   \[ \Delta H = -413.3 \, \text{kJ} \]

2. Add this reversed reaction with reaction 1:
   \[ \text{X}(s) + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XO}(s) \]
   \[ \text{XO}(s) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XCO}_3(s) \]

3. The net equation becomes:
   \[ \text{X}(s) + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2(g) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{XCO}_3(s) \]

4. Sum the enthalpy changes:
   \[ \Delta H = (-651.7 \, \text{kJ}) +
