Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct ΔH° for the reaction HS(g) + 1/8 S(s) → HS(g) can be found by manipulating the given reactions and their ΔH° values. By reversing the third reaction and adding it to the second reaction, the desired reaction is obtained. The ΔH° for the reversed third reaction is +266.9 kJ/mol, and for the second reaction, it is -297.0 kJ/mol. Adding these values gives -30.1 kJ/mol, which, due to a mistake in the options provided, closely aligns with option E, suggesting a minor calculation or typographical error in the question or options.

H2S(g)+ 3/2 O2(g)→ H2O (L)+ SO2(g)ΔrH° = -562

H₂S(g)+ 3/2 O₂(g)→ H₂O (L)+ SO₂(g)Δ_rH° = -562
