Find ΔHrxn for the following reaction:
2CdS(s) + 3O2(g) → 2CdO(s) + 2SO2(g)
Use the following reactions with known ΔH values:
2H2S(g) + O2(g) → 2S(s, rhombic) + 2H2O(g) ΔH = -442.4 kJ
S(s, rhombic) + O2(g) → SO2(g) ΔH = -296.8 kJ
CdO(s) + H2S(g) → CdS(s) + H2O(g) ΔH = -124.7 kJ
Express the energy to one decimal place and include the appropriate units:
ΔHrxn = 786.6 kJ
