What is the work done during oxidation of 4 moles of SO _ 2( ~g ) to SO _ 3( ~g ) at 27^ C ? ( R =8.314 ~J ~K ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A1.780 ~kJ
- B-1.125 ~kJ
- C3.234 ~kJ
- D-4.988 ~kJ
Correct answer
D. -4.988 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
For oxidation of 4 moles of SO ₂ , the reaction is given as follows: aligned & 4 SO _ 2( ~g ) +2 O _ 2( ~g ) 4 SO _ 3( ~g ) & n _ g = (moles of product gases) & - (moles of reactant gases) & n _ g =4-6=-2 ~mol & ~W =- n _ g RT & =-(-2 ~mol ) 8.314 ~J ~K ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ 300 ~K & =+4988.4 ~J & =+4.988 ~kJ & aligned [Note: For the given question, none of the provided options is the correct answer.]
