The head of a strike anywhere match contains tetraphosphorus trisulfide, P4S3. In an experiment, a student burned this compound in an excess of oxygen and found that it evolved 3651 kJ of heat per mole of P4S3 at a constant pressure of 1 atm. She wrote the following thermochemical equation: P4S3(s)+8O2(g)P4O10(s)+3SO2(g);H=3651kJ Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of P4S3, using this students result and the following standard enthalpies of formation: P4O10(s), 3009.9 kJ/mol; SO2(g), 296.8 kJ/mol. How does this value compare with the value given in Appendix C?
