Given the following equations and Ho values, determine the heat of reaction (kJ) at 298 K for the reaction
2 OF2(g) + 2 S(s) SO2(g) + SF4(g) OF2(g) + H2O(l) O2(g) + 2 HF(g) Ho /kJ = -276.6 SF4(g) + 2 H2O(l) 4 HF(g) + SO2(g) Ho /kJ = -827.5 S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g) Ho /kJ = -296.9
2 OF2(g) + 2 S(s) —> SO2(g) + SF4(g)
OF2(g) + H2O(l) —>O2(g) + 2 HF(g) Ho /kJ = -276.6
SF4(g) + 2 H2O(l) —>4 HF(g) + SO2(g) Ho /kJ = -827.5
S(s) + O2(g) —> SO2(g) Ho /kJ = -296.9
Lets number the reaction as 0, 1, 2, 3 from top to bottom
required reaction should be written in terms of other reaction
This is Hess Law
required reaction can be written as:
reaction 0 = +2 * (reaction 1) -1 * (reaction 2) +1 * (reaction 3)
So, deltaHo rxn for required reaction will be:
deltaHo rxn = +2 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 1) -1 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 2) +1 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 3)
= +2 * (-276.6) -1 * (-827.5) +1 * (-296.9)
= -22.6 KJ
Answer: -22.6 KJ
