Question

S + O2 + x kcal         .......(1)
SO2 + O2 → SO2 + y kcal         .......(2)
The heat of formation of SO3 in the above reactior :

Options

A.(x + y)
B.(x - y)
C.(2x - y)
D.(2x + y)

Solution

S = O2 → SO2 = x       ......(i)
SO2 + O2 → SO3 + y       ......(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) we have
S + O2 + SO2 O2 → S O2 + S O3 + y
s + O2 → SO3
So, heat of information of SO3 will be (x - y).
