The given thermochemical equation is:
2 Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2 MgO(s) ΔH = –1204 kJ
Part A. We are asked to determine the mass in grams of MgO that are produced during an enthalpy change of -238 kJ.
Consider the following reaction: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) ΔH = -1204 kJ
How many grams of MgO are produced during an enthalpy change of -238 kJ?
How many kilojoules of heat are absorbed when 40.5 g of MgO(s) is decomposed into Mg(s) and O2(g) at constant pressure?
