**Thermochemical Equation Manipulation**

In this example, we will explore how to manipulate thermochemical equations to find the enthalpy change (\( \Delta H^\circ \)) for a given reaction.

1. **Reaction Equations and \(\Delta H^\circ\):**

   - Equation 1:
     \[
     2 \, \text{CO}(g) + \cancel{\text{O}_2(g)} \rightarrow 2 \, \text{CO}_2(g) \quad \Delta H^\circ = -566.0 \, \text{kJ}
     \]

   - Equation 2:
     \[
     2 \, \text{NO}(g) \rightarrow \text{N}_2(g) + \cancel{\text{O}_2(g)} \quad \Delta H^\circ = -180.5 \, \text{kJ}
     \]

2. **Overall Reaction:**

   The overall chemical reaction is derived by combining the above equations and eliminating common species on both sides:

   \[
   2 \, \text{CO}(g) + 2 \, \text{NO}(g) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{N}_2(g)
   \]

3. **Overall Enthalpy Change:**

   The overall enthalpy change is the sum of the enthalpy changes from each individual reaction:

   \[
   \Delta H^\circ = -746.5 \, \text{kJ}
   \]

This demonstrates the principle of Hess's Law, where the total enthalpy change is the sum of the enthalpy changes of individual steps, allowing you to calculate the enthalpy for a desired reaction from known values.
