Solution

The correct option is B (2xy)
The thermochemical reactions are as given below:
S(s)+32O2(g)=SO3(g)+2xKcal ......(1)
SO2(g)+12O2(g)=SO3(g)+yKcal ......(2)
The reaction (2) is reversed and added to reaction (1) to obtain the reaction S(s)+O2(g)=SO2(g).
Hence, the heat of formation of sulphur dioxide is (2xy)Kcal.
