Question

Calculate ΔHo for the reaction :
Na2O + SO3 → Na2SO4 given the following :
A) Na(s) + H2O(l)  → NaOH(s) + 1/2 H2(g) ; ΔHo = – 146 kJ
B) Na2SO4(s) +H2O → 2NaOH(s) + SO3(g) ; ΔHo = + 418 kJ
C) 2 Na2O(s) + 2H2(g) → 4Na(s) + 2H2O(l); ΔHo = + 259 kJ

Moderate
Solution

\begin{array}{l} 2 \times eq(A) \Rightarrow 2N{a_{(s)}} + {\rm{ 2}}{H_2}{O_{(l)}}{\rm{ }} \to {\rm{ 2}}NaO{H_{(s)}} + {\rm{ }}{H_{2(g)}};{\rm{ }}\Delta {H_1} = {\rm{ 2(}}-{\rm{ }}146{\rm{ )}}kJ\\\\ \,\,\,\,\,\frac{1}{{eq(B)}} \Rightarrow 2NaO{H_{(s)}} + {\rm{ }}S{O_{3(g)}} \to N{a_2}S{O_{4(s)}} + {H_2}{O_l}\,;\,\Delta {H_2} = - 418KJ\\\\ \underline {\frac{1}{2} \times eq.(C) \Rightarrow {\rm{ }}N{a_2}{O_{(s)}} + {\rm{ }}{H_{2(g)}} \to {\rm{ 2}}N{a_{(s)}} + {\rm{ }}{H_2}{O_{(l)}};\,\,\Delta {H_3} = \frac{{259}}{2}\,KJ\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \\ On\,addition:\,\,N{a_2}O{\rm{ }} + {\rm{ }}S{O_3} \to {\rm{ }}N{a_2}S{O_4}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta H = \,\,\,\Delta {H_1} + \,\,\Delta {H_2} + \,\,\Delta {H_3} \end{array}

                                                                                           

\begin{array}{l} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 2( - 146) - 418 + \frac{{259}}{2}\,\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = - 580.5KJ\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \end{array}
