Solution

The given balanced chemical equation is:

5 C(s) + 2 SO2(g) –> CS2(l) + 4 CO(g) with ΔH° = +239.9 kJ

This means that 239.9 kJ of heat is absorbed when 5 moles of C(s) react with excess SO2(g).

We are asked to find the heat absorbed when 2.5 moles of C(s) react.

Since the heat absorbed is directly proportional to the number of moles, we can set up the following proportion:

5 moles / 239.9 kJ = 2.5 moles / x kJ

Solving for x gives us:

x = (2.5 moles * 239.9 kJ) / 5 moles = 119.95 kJ

So, the heat absorbed when 2.5 moles of C(s) react is approximately 120.0 kJ.
