Solution

The correct option is C -396 kJ
S+O2SO2 ΔHo=297kJ
SO2+O22SO3 ΔHo=198kJ
First on multiplying equation first by 2:
2S+2O22SO2 2×ΔHo=297×2=594kJ
Now, adding both equation: ( New + 2nd )
2S+3O22SO3 ΔreactionHo=594198=792kJ
Now, determining the enthalpy for 1 mol of SO3 to determine Enthalpy of formation of SO3, divide the equation by 2.
2S(s)+32O2(g)SO3(g) ΔformationHo=7922=396kJ
