Sulfur dioxide is released in the combustion of coal. Scrubbers use aqueous slurries of calcium hydroxide to remove the SO₂ from flue gases. Write a balanced equation for this reaction and calculate ΔS°rxn at 298 K [S° of CaSO₃(s) = 101.4 J/mol·K].

Respuesta :

Ca(OH)2 -------> CaSO3 (s) + H2O(l)

standard entropy of formation for CaSO3 is 101.4J/mol.K

The balanced equation between  Ca(OH)2 and water is:

Ca(OH)2 -------> CaSO3 (s) + H2O(l)

The entropy of a substance can be obtained by measuring the heat required to raise the temperature a given amount, using a reversible process.

          The standard molar entropy, S°, is the entropy of 1 mole of a substance in its standard state, at 1 atm of pressure.

The standard entropy of reaction is:

ΔS° = ∑ΔS° (products) -  ∑ΔS° (reactants)

        =  [S°(CaSO3) +S°H2O] -  S°[Ca(OH)2]

        = [ 1 mol(101.4)+ 1 mol(69.9)]  - [ 1 mol(83.4)+ 1 mol(248.5)]

ΔS° = -160.6J/K
