2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3. In the reaction above, the standard heats of formation of SO2(g) and SO3(g) are -297 KJ mol-1 and -396 kJ/mol respectively. The heat change of the reaction is?
-99 kJ mol-
-198 kJ mol-
+198 kJ mol-
+683kJ mol-
Correct answer is B
2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
2(-297) 2(-396)
-594 -792
Heat change = heat of product - heat of reactants = -792 - (-594) = -198kj mol-
