In the reaction : S + 3/2 O₂ → SO₃ + 2x kcal and SO₂ + 1/2 O₂ → SO₃ + y kcal, heat of formation of SO₂ in kcal is

A

(x + y)

B

(x − y)

C

(2x + y)

D

(2x − y)

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

From the given reactions, S + 3/2O₂ → SO₃ + 2x kcal and SO₂ + 1/2O₂ → SO₃ + y kcal, the heat of formation of SO₂ can be derived as (2x − y) kcal.
