### Determination of the Heat of Formation for PbS

#### Introduction

Using the provided table and the chemical equation below, determine the heat of formation (in kJ/mol) for PbS:

\[ 2 \, \text{PbS} \, (s) + 3 \, \text{O}_2 \, (g) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{SO}_2 \, (g) + 2 \, \text{PbO} \, (s) \]

\[\Delta H^\circ = -828.4 \, \text{kJ/mol}\]

#### Table of Standard Enthalpies of Formation

| Substance | \(\Delta H_f^\circ\) (kJ/mol) |
|----------------|-----------------------------|
| O\(_2\) (g)      | 0                                       |
| SO\(_2\) (g)    | -296.9                              |
| PbO (s)          | -217.3                              |

#### Explanation

The reaction involves the oxidation of lead sulfide (PbS) to form lead oxide (PbO) and sulfur dioxide (SO\(_2\)). The standard enthalpies of formation for the products and reactants (except for PbS which needs to be found) are provided in the table. Oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)) is in its elemental state, so its enthalpy of formation is 0 by definition. 

The overall reaction enthalpy (\(\Delta H^\circ = -828.4 \, \text{kJ/mol}\)) is given and can be used to calculate the unknown enthalpy of formation for PbS using Hess’s law.
