What is the work done at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) for the reaction? \(\mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{SO}_3(\mathrm{~g}) ?\) \((\) Given \(\mathrm{R}=8.314) \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

  1. A \(-1247.1 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(-247 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(850.7 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(1247 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-1247.1 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{W}=\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}} \mathrm{RT} \\ & =-\frac{1}{2} \times 8.314 \times 300 \\ & =-1247.1 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}\)
