Based on Hess's law calculations,what is the average $S-O$ bond energy in $SO_3$ if $\Delta H_f^o$ of $SO_3$ is $-270 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. Given: Bond energy of $O=O$ is $495 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,heat of sublimation for $S_{(s)}$ is $277 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,and bond energy of $S=O$ is not provided,but we assume the formation reaction: $S_{(s)} + \frac{3}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow SO_{3(g)}$. Use the atomization energy of $S_{(s)} = 277 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $O=O = 495 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. Calculate the average $S-O$ bond energy in $SO_3$.
