Answer

$-1134.4\,kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta _{r}G^{\circ}=\Sigma n_{p}\Delta _{f}G^{\circ}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}\Delta _{f}G^{\circ}(reactants)$ $=[\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(BaO,s)+\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(CO_{2},g)]-[\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(BaCO_{3},s)]$ $\implies 219.7\,kJ/mol=[(-520.38\,kJ/mol)+(-394.359\,kJ/mol)]-[\Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(BaCO_{3},s)]$ $\implies \Delta_{f}G^{\circ}(BaCO_{3},s)=[(-520.38\,kJ/mol)+(-394.359\,kJ/mol)]-(219.7\,kJ/mol)$ $=-1134.4\,kJ/mol$
