Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is 1124 kJ
Explanation:
Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as [tex]\Delta H^o[/tex]
The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:
[tex]\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{\text{(product)}}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f_{\text{(reactant)}}][/tex]
For the given chemical reaction:
[tex]2H_2O(l)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)[/tex]
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
[tex]\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2S(g))})+(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))})][/tex]
We are given:
[tex]\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.83kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(SO_2(g))}=-296.83kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2S(g))}=-20.63kJ/mol[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times (-20.63))+(3\times (0))]-[(2\times (-285.83))+(2\times (-296.83))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=1124kJ[/tex]
Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is 1124 kJ
