Hess's Law:
CS2(l) + 3O2(g)⟶CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ... TARGET EQUATION
Given:
(1). C(s)+O2(g)⟶CO2(g ... Δ𝐺∘=−397.28 kJ/mol
(2). S(s)+O2(g)⟶SO2(g) ... Δ𝐺∘=−300.19 kJ/mol
(3). C(s)+2S(s)⟶CS2(l) ... Δ𝐺∘=+62.37 kJ/mol
Procedure:
reverse (3): CS2(l) ==> C(s) + 2S(s) ... ∆Gº = -62.37 kJ/mol
copy (1): C(s) + O2(g)⟶CO2(g) ... Δ𝐺∘ = −397.28 kJ/mol
copy (2) x 2: 2S(s) + 2O2(g) ==> 2SO2(g) ... ∆Gº = 2x-300.19 = -600.38 kJ/mol
Add all equations to get:
CS2(l) + C(s) + O2(g) + 2S(s) + 2O2(g) ==> C(s) + 2S(s) + CO2(g) + 2SO2(g)
Combine and cancel like terms to get ...
CS2(l) + 3O2(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ... TARGET EQUATION
∆Gº = -62.37 + -397.28 + -600.38 = -1060 kJ/mol
