Question
### Energy Evolution in the Reaction of H₂S and O₂

When hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to form water (H₂O) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), 124 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of H₂S that reacts.

**Task:**
Write a balanced equation for the reaction with an energy term in kcal as part of the equation.

**Instructions:**
Use the smallest integer coefficients possible and put the energy term in an appropriate box. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.

**Balanced Equation:** 

\[ \boxed{2} \text{H}_2\text{S(g)} + \boxed{3} \text{O}_2\text{(g)} + \boxed{ } \rightarrow \boxed{2} \text{H}_2\text{O(g)} + \boxed{2} \text{SO}_2\text{(g)} + \boxed{124} \text{ kcal} \]

This balanced equation shows that 2 moles of hydrogen sulfide gas react with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water vapor and 2 moles of sulfur dioxide gas, releasing 124 kcal of energy.
