At 298 K298\,\text{K} the reaction 2 SO2(g)+O2(g)  →  2 SO3(g)\mathrm{2\,SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\;\rightarrow\;2\,SO_3(g)} has ΔSrxn∘=−188  J mol−1 K−1\Delta S^{\circ}_{\text{rxn}} = -188\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. The standard molar entropies are S∘ ⁣(SO2(g))=248  J mol−1 K−1\displaystyle S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{SO_2(g)}) = 248\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1} and S∘ ⁣(O2(g))=205  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{O_2(g)}) = 205\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. Determine S∘ ⁣(SO3(g))S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{SO_3(g)}) at 298 K298\,\text{K}.
