Solution

The correct option is C 397.5 KJ mol1
Solution:- (B) 397.5kJ/mol
Given:-
12S8(s)+6O2(g)4SO3(g);ΔH=1590kJ.....(1)
As we know that the enthalpy of formation of a product is equal to the enthalpy of reaction when one mole of product is formed from its constituent elements.
Thus, dividing eqn(1) by 4, we have
14×[12S8(s)+6O2(g)4SO3(g);ΔH=1590kJ]
18S8(s)+32O2(g)SO3(g);ΔH=397.5kJ
Hence the enthalpy of formation of SO3(g) is 397.5kJ.
