1) qsoln = mCΔT
qsoln = (28.7 + 0.504) * 4.184 * (34.1 - 20.1)
qsoln = 1710.654 J
1710.654 / 1000 = 1.710654 kJ
Hrxn = -qsoln
Hrxn = -1.710654 kJ
0.504 / x = 40.31 / 1
x = 0.013 mol MgO
ΔH/mol = -1.710654 / 0.013
ΔH/mol = -131.589
1. Use Hess’s Law and the data for reactions (1), (2), and (3) to determine ǻHrxn/mol for the
combustion of magnesium. Show all work to receive full credit.
2. Show your calculation for the percent error in your determination of ǻHrxn/mol for the
combustion of magnesium.
-601.6 (accepted value) / -869.32 (my value) = 0.692
0.692 * 100 = 69.2% error
