Answer: 829.5 kilo Joule heat will be required when 2.1 moles of sulfur trioxide reacts.

Solution:

Given reaction:


2SO_3(g)\rightarrow 2S(s)+3O_2(g),\Delta H=+790 kJ

On dividing the chemical equation by 2 we get :


SO_3(g)\rightarrow S(s)+(3)/(2)3O_2(g),(\Delta H)/(2)=395 kJ

If 1 mole of sulfur trioxide requires 395 kJ then 2.1 moles will require:


=2.1* 395 kJ= 829.5kJ

829.5 kiloJoule heat will be required when 2.1 moles of sulfur trioxide reacts.

Given:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) for SO3 decomposition = +790 kJ

Moles of SO3 = 2.1 moles

To determine:

Energy required when 2.1 moles of SO3 reacts

Step-by-step explanation:

The decomposition reaction is -

2SO3(g) → 2S(s) + 3O2 (g)

Energy required when 2 moles of SO3 reacts is 790 kJ

Thus, for 2.1 moles of SO3 the energy requirement would be

= 2.1 moles SO3 * 790 kJ/2 moles SO3 = 829.5 kJ

Ans: 830 kJ are required when 2.1 moles of SO3 reacts.
