JEE Main 8 April 2026, Shift 2, Chemistry Q74

Question 74 of 75 in this shift, Chemistry question 24 of 25, Section B.

Consider the reaction 2H2S(g)+3O2(g)→2H2O(l)+2SO2(g)2\mathrm{H_2S(g)} + 3\mathrm{O_2(g)} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{H_2O(l)} + 2\mathrm{SO_2(g)} The magnitude of enthalpy change for the reaction in kJ mol−1^{-1} is ________. (Nearest integer) Given : ΔfH⊖(H2S)=−20.1\Delta_f H^{\ominus}(\mathrm{H_2S}) = -20.1 kJ mol−1^{-1} ΔfH⊖(H2O)=−286.0\Delta_f H^{\ominus}(\mathrm{H_2O}) = -286.0 kJ mol−1^{-1} ΔfH⊖(SO2)=−297.0\Delta_f H^{\ominus}(\mathrm{SO_2}) = -297.0 kJ mol−1^{-1}
