2SO(2)g +O(2)g ---> 2SO(3)g
No clue where to start. I have about 10 questions just like this one, so the most information you can give on how you solve this would be greatly appreciated; so I can try to reproduce it on the others.

You need to use your table of heats of formation. The heat of formation for SO3 is -395.7 kJ/mol and the heat of formation for SO2 is -296.8 kJ/mol
Nowyou use Hess' Law. Heat of reaction = Sum of heats of formation of products - sum of heats of formation of reactants. (Do not include elements)
Heat of reaction = [2 x -395.7] - [2 x -296.8]
Heat of reaction = -791.4 kJ - (-593.6)
Heat of reaction = -791.4 kJ + 593.6 kJ
Heat of reaction = -197.8 kJ
Now that is for two moles of SO3 formed. So for one mole of SO3 it would be 1/2 that. OK?
