Answer

-98.9 kJ

Work Step by Step

$\Delta H^{o}_{rxn}=\Sigma n_{p}\Delta H_{f}^{o}(products)-\Sigma n_{r}\Delta H_{f}^{o}(reactants)$ $=[1(\Delta H^{o}_{f,\,SO_{3}(g)})]-[1(\Delta H^{o}_{f,\,SO_{2}(g)})+\frac{1}{2}(\Delta H^{o}_{f,\,O_{2}(g)})]$ $=1(-395.7\,kJ)-[1(-296.8\,kJ)+\frac{1}{2}(0)]$ $=-98.9\,kJ$
