Summary:
- Chemistry problems that involve enthalpy changes can be solved by techniques similar to stoichiometry problems.
- The moles of a reactant or product can be linked to mass or volume.
- Since pollution is often both particulate and thermal, energy changes need to be determined in addition to the amounts of products released.
- The calculation requires two steps.
- The mass of SO2 is converted to moles.
- Then the mol SO1 is multiplied by the conversion factor of .
- The result is the energy released by the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen.
