Calcium carbide, CaC 2 , is manufactured by the reaction of CaO with carbon at a high

Question:

Calcium carbide, CaC2, is manufactured by the reaction of CaO with carbon at a high temperature. (Calcium carbide is then used to make acetylene.)CaO(s) + 3 C(s) CaC(s) + CO(g) A,H= +464.8 kJ/mol-rxn

Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? What is the enthalpy change if 10.0 g of CaO is allowed to react with an excess of carbon?
