Explanation / Answer

Mg + 2H+ ---> Mg2+ + H2

since volume of HCl solution is not mentioned, for calculation we would assume volume of HCl = 100 ml

density = 1 g/ml

mass of HCl solution = 100 ml x 1 g/ml = 100 g

Enthalpy change dH1 = -100 g x 4.07 J/g.oC x 14.1 oC/0.0189 mol x 1000 = -303.635 kJ/mol

MgO + 2H+ ---> M2+ + H2O

Enthalpy change dH2 = -100 g x 4.07 J/g.oC x 2.3 oC/0.0203 mol x 1000 = -46.11 kJ/mol

we know,

H2 + 1/2O2 --> H2O    dH3 = -286 kJ/mol

So,

Mg + 1/2O2 ---> MgO

Enthalpy for formation for MgO = dH1 - dH2 + dH3

                                                  = -303.635 + 46.11 - 286

                                                  = -543.33 kJ/mol

%error = (-602 + 543.33) x 100/-602 = 9.74%
