Answer 1

Answer:

Answer 2

Answer: 1342.7

Explanations:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) == 2SO3(g)

∆n = moles of gaseous product - (moles of

gaseous reactant)

= 1-(1+1/2)

= -1/2

Now,

W= -∆nRT

= -(-1/2×8.314×323)

= 1342.7 ~ 1343

As, work done is positive therefore work is done by surrounding on system.
