Given that ÎHo for the thermochemical equation
2 SO2(g) + O2(g) â 2SO3(g)
is â 198 kJ, what is the enthalpy change for the decomposition of 1 mole of SO3 to give O2 and SO2, all in the gas state?
Method: Write down the equation of the reaction required (decomposition of SO3 to give O2 and SO2):
SO3(g) â SO2(g) + ½O2(g)
Compare this equation with the one for which the thermodynamic information is available, and decide what operations are necessary to make them identical.
If you reverse a reaction, you must change the sign of ÎHo.
If you multiply a reaction through by a factor, you must multiply ÎHo by that factor also.
Select one:
a. + 99 kJ
b. - 99 kJ
c. - 198 kJ
d. + 198 kJ
e. 0 kJ
