2Zn + O2 2ZnO; = -616 J 2Zn + S2 2ZnS; = -293 J S2 + 2O2 2SO2; = -408 J for the following reaction 2ZnS + 3O2 2ZnO + 2SO2 is
- -731 J
- -1317 J
- -501 J
- +731 J
Answer
(1) -731 J
Solution
Label the equations (i), (ii) and (iii). The required equation = (i) − (ii) + (iii):
(i) 2Zn + O2 2ZnO
−(ii) 2ZnS 2Zn + S2
(iii) S2 + 2O2 2SO2
Adding: 2ZnS + 3O2 2ZnO + 2SO2
∵ G is a state function, values combine in the same way:
= (-616) - (-293) + (-408)
= -731 J
