$H_2O(g) + C(s) \rightarrow CO(g) + H_2(g)$ ; $\Delta H = 131$ kJ. $CO(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2(g)$ ; $\Delta H = -282$ kJ. $H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \rightarrow H_2O(g)$ ; $\Delta H = -242$ kJ. $C(s) + O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2(g)$ ; $\Delta H = X $ kJ. Based on the above thermochemical equations find the value of X.
