When H2S(g) reacts with O2(g) to form H2O(g) and SO2(g), 124 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of H2S(g) that reacts. Write a balanced equation for the reaction with an energy term in kcal as part of the equation.

2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g) + 248kcal

Explanation:

The reaction of the problem occurs as follows:

H2S(g) + O2(g) → H2O(g) + SO2(g)

To balance the reaction we must balance oxygens:

H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g)

To balance the complete reaction:

2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g)

As the energy is evolved, 124kcal are as product in the reactio per mole of H2S. As the balanced reaction contains 2 moles of H2S, the heat evolved is:

124kcal*2 = 248kcal:

2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + 2SO2(g) + 248kcal

And this is the balanced equation
