Answer

$-11.3\,kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

We find: $\Delta H^{\circ}_{rxn}=\Sigma n_{p}\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(reactants)$ $=[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(Cu_{2}O,s)]-[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(CuO,s)+\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(Cu,s)]$ $=-168.6\,kJ/mol-[-157.3\,kJ/mol+0]$ $=-11.3\,kJ/mol$
