Question

Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ?H0f for Li2SO4.

             H2S (g)     +  3O2 (g)                       <=>     3H2O (g) +   SO2 (g)

8 Li2SO4 (s) ----- > 16 Li (s)   +   S8 (s, rhombic)   +   16 O2

Li2SO4 (aq) ----- > 2 Li+ (aq)     + SO42- (aq)

2Li (s)   +   1/8 S8 (s, rhombic + 2 O2 ------ > Li2SO4 (s)

2 Li+ (aq)     +          SO42- (aq)                 ----->   Li2SO4 (aq)

16 Li (s) + S8 (s, rhombic   + 16 O2 ----- >   8 Li2SO4 (s)

8 Li2SO4 (s) ----- > 16 Li (s)   +   S8 (s, rhombic)   +   16 O2

Explanation / Answer

2 Li(s) + 1/8 S8(s, rhombic) + 2 O2(g) ? Li2SO4(s)
