The standard enthalpies of formation of PbS(s), SO2(g) and PbO(s) are -98.3, -296.8. and -217.3kj mol respectively.
Calculate the reaction enthalpy for the roasting of PbS(s).
PbS(s)+3O2(g)--->2SO2(g)+2PbO(s)
Balanced reaction is
2PbS(s) + 3O2(g)
2SO2(g) + 2PbO(s)

H0
= [(2

= [-1028.2] - [-196.6]
= [-1028.2] + [196.6]
H0
= -831.6 KJ/mol
reaction enthalpy for the roasting of PbS(s) = -831.6 KJ/mol
