$SO_2 + \frac{1}{2} O_2 \to SO_3 + y \ kcal$
Find out the heat of formation of $SO_2$.

For the reaction,$C_2H_5OH_{(l)} + 3O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_{2(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}$,$\Delta U$ is the heat of reaction at constant volume. Then the heat of reaction at constant pressure is:

The enthalpy change for the reaction,$H_{2(g)} + C_2H_{4(g)} \to C_2H_{6(g)}$ is $......$ $kcal \ mol^{-1}$. The bond energies are,$[e_{H-H} = 103, e_{C-H} = 99, e_{C-C} = 80]$ and $[e_{C=C} = 145] \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$.

Two reactions are given below:
$2 Fe_{(s)} + \frac{3}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \rightarrow Fe_2 O_{3_{(s)}}, \Delta H^{o} = -822 \ kJ/mol$
$C_{(s)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \rightarrow CO_{(g)}, \Delta H^{o} = -110 \ kJ/mol$
Then,the enthalpy change for the following reaction is:
$3 C_{(s)} + Fe_2 O_{3_{(s)}} \rightarrow 2 Fe_{(s)} + 3 CO_{(g)}$

The $\Delta H^o_f$ for $CO_{2(g)}$,$CO_{(g)}$,and $H_2O_{(g)}$ are $-393.5$,$-110.5$,and $-241.8 \ kJ/mol$ respectively. The standard enthalpy change (in $kJ$) for the reaction $CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)} \to CO_{(g)} + H_2O_{(g)}$ is:
