Consider the oxidation of carbon monoxide: $2CO(g)+O_2(g)2C{O}_2(g).$ Calculate the standard free energy change $(G)$ for this reaction given the following reactions:

$2C{H}_4(g)+3O_2(g)2CO(g)+4H_{2}O(g),G=-1088k\frac{J}{m}ol$

$C{H}_4(g)+2O_2(g)C{O}_2(g)+2H_{2}O(g),G=-810k\frac{J}{m}ol$

Answer: $k\frac{J}{m}ol$

Is the oxidation of carbon monoxide spontaneous under standard conditions?
