The Oxidation of Sulphur Dioxide to Sulphur Trioxide Is Important \rarr

Question 27

Multiple Choice

The oxidation of sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide is important in the manufacture of sulphuric acid:
2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) \rarr 2 SO3 (g)
Find the enthalpy change of this reaction given the following:
S (s) + O2 (g) \rarr SO2 (g) ; Δ\Delta H° = -296.83 kJ
2 S (s) + 3 O2 (g) \rarr 2 SO3 (g) ; Δ\Delta H° = -791.44 kJ
( Δ\Delta Hrxn = Δ\Delta Hproducts - Δ\Delta Hreactants; Δ\Delta Hrxn = Bond broken - Bonds made)


A) -197.78 kJ
B) 197.78 kJ
C) -485.23 kJ
D) 791.22 kJ
E) -1088.27 kJ
