To find the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond in carbon dioxide (CO2), we first need to consider the structure of CO2. Each molecule of carbon dioxide contains two carbon-oxygen double bonds.
The total bond energy of all the bonds in one molecule of CO2 is given as 1,472 kJ. Since there are 2 double bonds in a CO2 molecule, we can divide the total bond energy by the number of double bonds:
\[
\text{Bond energy per double bond} = \frac{1,472 \text{ kJ}}{2} = 736 \text{ kJ}
\]
Thus, the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond in carbon dioxide is **736 kJ**.
