The enthalpies of combustion of $S_{(s)}$ and $H_{2(g)}$ are $-300 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$ and $-290 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. Given the following reactions:
$SO_{3(g)} + H_2O_{(l)} \rightarrow H_2SO_{4(l)}$; $\Delta H = -130 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$
$SO_{2(g)} + 1/2 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow SO_{3(g)}$; $\Delta H = -100 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$
$S_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow SO_{2(g)}$; $\Delta H = -300 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$
$H_{2(g)} + 1/2 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}$; $\Delta H = -290 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$
The enthalpy of formation of $H_2SO_{4(l)}$ is:
