Explanation / Answer

A)

we have:

Hof(MgCl2(s)) = -641.8 KJ/mol

Hof(NaOH(aq)) = -469.1 KJ/mol

Hof(Mg(OH)2(s)) = -924.5 KJ/mol

Hof(NaCl(aq)) = -407.3 KJ/mol

we have the Balanced chemical equation as:

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

deltaHo rxn = 1*Hof(Mg(OH)2(s)) + 2*Hof(NaCl(aq)) - 1*Hof( MgCl2(s)) - 2*Hof(NaOH(aq))

deltaHo rxn = 1*(-924.5) + 2*(-407.3) - 1*(-641.8) - 2*(-469.1)

deltaHo rxn = -159.1 KJ/mol

Answer: -159.1 KJ/mol

B)

we have:

deltaHo rxn = -37.5 KJ/mol

Hof(Mg(OH)2(s)) = -924.5 KJ/mol

Hof(H2O(l)) = -285.5 KJ/mol

we have the Balanced chemical equation as:

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

deltaHo rxn = 1*Hof(MgO(s)) + 2*Hof(H2O(l)) - 1*Hof( Mg(OH)2(s))

-37.5 = 1*Hof(MgO(s)) + 2*(-285.5) - 1*(-924.5)

Hof(MgO(s)) = -391 KJ/mol

Answer: -391 KJ/mol
