Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation, ΔH°f, of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas given the following thermochemical equations:

    C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)    ΔH°rxn = -393.5 kJ/mol
    C(s) + O2(g) → CO(g)    ΔH°rxn = -110.5 kJ/mol
    CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → CO2(g)    ΔH°rxn = -283.0 kJ/mol 

Assume that all reactants and products are in their standard states.
