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.

  • A
    $188.5$
  • B
    $120$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $100$
