Textbook Question
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the most widely produced chemical in the world, is amde yb a two-step oxidaiton of sulfur to sulfur trioxide, SO3, followed by reaciton with water. Calculate ΔH°f for SO3 in kJ/mol, given the following data: S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) ΔH° = -296.8 kJ SO2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → SO3(g) ΔH° = -98.9 kJ

Textbook Question
The standard enthalpy change for the reaciton of SO3(g) with H2O(l) to yield H2SO4(aq) is ΔH° = -227.8 kJ. Use the information in Problem 9.104 to calculate ΔH°f for H2SO4(aq) in kJ/mol. [For H2O(l), ΔH°f = -285.88 kJ/mol.]
