Sulfur trioxide is the primary raw material in the manufacture of sulfuric acid. SO3 gas is commonly obtained from roasting pyrite (FeS₂) at 850°C. Roasting is the reaction of pyrite and oxygen, forming ferric oxide and sulfur trioxide. For the production of 800 kg SO3, calculate (a) the quantity of heat released in kJ (b) the entropy of reaction in kJ/K (b) If 85% of the heat generated in (a) is supplied to a boiler to transform liquid water at 20°C and 1atm to superheated steam at 120°C and 1 atm, how many kilograms of steam are produced?
