Capitolo 6, Problema 113

The ΔH for the oxidation of sulfur in the gas phase to SO3 is –204 kJ/mol and for the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 is 89.5 kJ/mol. Find the enthalpy of formation of SO2 under these conditions.

1
Identify the given reactions and their enthalpies: \( S(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow SO_3(g) \) with \( \Delta H = -204 \text{ kJ/mol} \) and \( SO_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g) \rightarrow SO_3(g) \) with \( \Delta H = 89.5 \text{ kJ/mol} \).
Write the target reaction for the formation of \( SO_2 \): \( S(g) + O_2(g) \rightarrow SO_2(g) \).
Use Hess's Law, which states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for each step of the reaction.
Express the enthalpy of formation of \( SO_2 \) as the difference between the enthalpy of the direct formation of \( SO_3 \) from \( S \) and the enthalpy of the conversion of \( SO_2 \) to \( SO_3 \).
Calculate \( \Delta H_f(SO_2) \) using the equation: \( \Delta H_f(SO_2) = \Delta H(S \rightarrow SO_3) - \Delta H(SO_2 \rightarrow SO_3) \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Enthalpy Change (ΔH)

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is a measure of the heat content of a system at constant pressure. It indicates whether a reaction is exothermic (releases heat, ΔH < 0) or endothermic (absorbs heat, ΔH > 0). Understanding ΔH is crucial for calculating the energy changes associated with chemical reactions, such as the formation of compounds from their elements.

Hess's Law

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps of the reaction, regardless of the pathway taken. This principle allows us to calculate the enthalpy of formation of a compound by using known enthalpy changes of related reactions, facilitating the determination of ΔH for complex reactions.

Enthalpy of Formation

The enthalpy of formation (ΔH_f) is the change in enthalpy when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states. It is a fundamental concept in thermodynamics and is used to calculate the energy changes in chemical reactions. Knowing the enthalpy of formation is essential for predicting the stability and reactivity of compounds.
