SUMMARY
The heats of formation for the sulfite ion (SO3-2), peroxydisulfate ion (S2O8-2), and hypochlorite ion (OCl-1) are essential for understanding their thermodynamic properties. The sulfite ion is typically referenced in conjunction with a positive cation, as enthalpy values are usually provided for the complete ionic compound rather than individual ions. Additionally, the state of the ion, whether in gas form or dissolved in water, significantly affects the heat of formation values.
