"Water gas" is an industrial fuel composed of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases. When this
fuel is burned, carbon dioxide and water result. From the information given below, write a balanced equation
and determine the enthalpy of this reaction:
CO(g) + O2(g) → CO₂(g) + 282.8 kJ
H2(g) + O2(g) → H₂O(g) + 241.8 kJ
