1 Determine the enthalpy for this reaction:
MgCl2(s) + 2NAOH(aq)------> Mg(OH)2(s)+2NACl(aq)
Express your answer in kilojoules per mole to four significant figures.

The following table lists some enthalpy of formation values for selected substances.
Substance ----------delta Hf (kJ/mol)

NAOH (aq)------ (-469.1)

MgCl2 (s)-------- (-641.8)

NaCl (aq)----- (-407.3)

Mg(OH)2 (s) ----- (-924.5)

H2O (l) --------- (-285.8)

2. Consider the reaction:

Mg(OH)2 (s) ------> MgO (s) + H2O (l) with enthalpy of rxn delta Hrxn =37.50 kJ/mol.

What is the enthalpy of formation of MgO(s)?

Express your answer in kilojoules per mole to four significant figures.

Expert Solution

MgCl2(s) + 2NaOH(aq)------> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)

ΔH = Σ (Hf (products)) - Σ (Hf(reactants))

      = [ Hf(Mg(OH)2) + 2*Hf (NaCl)] - [ Hf (MgCl2) + 2 * Hf (NaOH) ]

      = [ (-924.5 kJ/mol) + 2 (-407.3 kJ/mol)] - [ (-641.8 kJ/mol) + 2 (-469.1 kJ/mol)]

      = -159.1 kJ
