From the following data, calculate the Enthalpy when Rhombic Sulphur is covered to monoclinic Sulphur

S (rhombic) + O2 (gas) -----> SO2 (gas) delta H = -295.1 kJ/mol

S (monoclinic) + O2 -------> SO2 (gas) delta H = -296.4 kJ/mol

___________________________________________________

S (rhombic) -------> S (monoclinic) delta H = [x] kJ/mon

Answer #1

S (rhombic) + O2 (g) -----> SO2 (g) ,delta H = -295.1 kJ/mol -------------------------------equation 1

S (monoclinic) + O2 (g)-------> SO2 (g) ,delta H = -296.4 kJ/mol -------------------------------equation 2

subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

  1. Write equation 1 in the top, followed by equation 2. [ as written above]
  2. To subtract, give ( - ) sign to all components of equation 2 and now subtract similar components.
  3. you can observe that O2 and SO2 get cancelled as they are in both equations.
  4. We are now left with S (rhombic) - S (monoclinic) -----> 0 : which is S (rhombic) -------> S (monoclinic) --------------------equation 3
  5. enthalpy for this equation 3 is obtained by subtracting enthalpy of equation 2 from 1
  6. ANSWER = -295.1 kJ/mol - ( -296.4 kJ/mol ) =  -295.1 kJ/mol + 296.4 kJ/mol = 1.3 kJ/mol
