In the reaction given, carbon dioxide (CO2) has two carbon-oxygen double bonds. Since the total bond energy of all the bonds in carbon dioxide is 1,472 kJ, we can find the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond by dividing the total bond energy by the number of bonds:

Total bond energy in CO2 = 1,472 kJ
Number of C=O double bonds in CO2 = 2

Bond energy of each C=O double bond = Total bond energy / Number of bonds
Bond energy of each C=O double bond = 1,472 kJ / 2 = 736 kJ

Therefore, the bond energy of each carbon-oxygen double bond in carbon dioxide is **736 kJ**.
