Calculate the reaction entropy of the reduction of sulfur dioxide to hydrogen sulfide at a temperature of 80 °C. In this case, consider the heat capacities to be independent of the temperature (as AT < 100 K) and use the following data: SO₂ H₂ sº / J mol-¹ K-1 248.22 130.684 205 70 Cp / J mol-¹ K-1 39.87 28.824 21.22
