Question 9

The table below shows standard entropies, S⊖S^\ominusS⊖, for three gases.

SubstanceSO2(g)\text{SO}_2(\text{g})SO2​(g)O2(g)\text{O}_2(\text{g})O2​(g)SO3(g)\text{SO}_3(\text{g})SO3​(g)
S⊖S^\ominusS⊖ / J mol−1K−1\text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}J mol−1K−1248.1205.0256.6

What is the standard entropy change, ΔS⊖\Delta S^\ominusΔS⊖, in J mol−1K−1\text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}J mol−1K−1, for the following reaction?

2SO2(g)+O2(g)→2SO3(g) 2\text{SO}_2(\text{g}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) \rightarrow 2\text{SO}_3(\text{g}) 2SO2​(g)+O2​(g)→2SO3​(g)
