Based on Hess's law calculations,what is the average bond energy of $S-O$ in $SO_3$ if $\Delta H_f^o$ of $SO_3$ is $-270 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The bond energy of $O=O$ is $495 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and the heat of sublimation for $S_{(s)}$ is $277 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$? (Given: Bond energy of $S=O$ is not provided,assume the reaction $S_{(s)} + \frac{3}{2} O_2(g) \rightarrow SO_3(g)$). Note: The provided values in the prompt were inconsistent with standard chemical data; using standard values: $\Delta H_{sub}(S) = 277 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,$BE(O=O) = 495 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,$BE(S-O) = 330 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ is not the goal,we calculate based on the provided logic.

The heat of transition $(\Delta H_t)$ of graphite into diamond would be,where
$C(\text{graphite}) + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}; \Delta H = x \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$C(\text{diamond}) + O_{2(g)} \to CO_{2(g)}; \Delta H = y \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of ethylene $(C_2H_4)$ from the following data:
$(I)$ $C_{\text{(graphite)}} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)}$; $\Delta H = -393.5 \ kJ$
$(II)$ $H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)}$; $\Delta U = -256.2 \ kJ$
$(III)$ $C_2H_{4(g)} + 3 O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2 CO_{2(g)} + 2 H_2O_{(l)}$; $\Delta H = -1410.8 \ kJ$ (in $kJ$)

Given $\Delta H_f^{\circ}$ for $CO_{2(g)}$, $CO_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$ are $-393.5$, $-110.5$ and $-241.8 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$, respectively. The $\Delta H_r^{\circ}$ [in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$] for the reaction $CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{(g)} + H_2 O_{(g)}$ is
