Explanation / Answer

Part A-

MgCl2(s) + 2NaOH(aq) --> Mg(OH2)(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

DeltaH rxn°= [delta Hf(Mg(OH)2 + 2*deltaHf(NaCl)]

- [deltaHf(MgCl2) + 2*deltaHf(NaOH)]

Keeping the values from the table-

DeltaHrxn° =[-924.5kJ/mol +2(-407.3kJ/mol)]

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

DeltaHrxn° = -1329.8kJ/mol -(-1580kJ/mol)

DeltaHrxn°= 250.2kJ/mol

Part B-

Mg(OH)2(s)---> MgO(s) + H2O(l)

DeltaHrxn° = [deltaHf(MgO) + deltaHf(H2O)]

- [(deltaHf(Mg(OH)2]

Keeping the values-

37.5kJ/mol = dektaHf(MgO) + (-285.8kJ/mol) - (-924.5kJ/mol)

DeltaHf(MgO) = 37.5kJ/mol +285.8kJ/mol -924.5kJ/mol

DeltaHf(MgO(s))= -601.2kJ/mol
