aligned S _ (rhombic) + O ₂( ~g ) SO ₂( ~g ), H=-297.5 ~kJ ~S _ (monoclinic) + O ₂( ~g ) SO ₂( ~g ), H=-300 ~kJ aligned The data can predict that
Options
- Arhombic sulphur is yellow in colour
- Bmonoclinic sulphur has metallic lusture
- Cmonoclinic sulphur is more stable
- DH_ transition of S _R to S _M is endothermic
Correct answer
D. H_ transition of S _R to S _M is endothermic
Step-by-step solution
Substracting equation (II) from (I), we get S _R ~S _M, H=+2.5 ~kJ Thus, S _R to S _M transition is an endothermic reaction.
