When hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen, water and sulfur dioxide are produced. The balanced equation for this reaction is: 2H2S (g) + 3O2 (g) -> 2H2O (l) + 2SO2 (g) If 4 moles of hydrogen sulfide react, The reaction consumes moles of oxygen. The reaction produces moles of water and moles of sulfur dioxide.

Hydrogen sulfide gas is a poisonous gas with the odor of rotten eggs. It occurs in natural gas and is produced during the decay of organic matter, which contains sulfur. The gas burns in oxygen as follows: $$ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}(g)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2}(g) $$ Calculate the standard enthalpy change for this reaction using standard enthalpies of formation.
