To determine the enthalpy of oxidation of magnesium, we first need the temperature change T that occurs during the reaction. Since this information is not provided, I will guide you through the steps to calculate the enthalpy of oxidation once you have the temperature change.1. Calculate the moles of magnesium used in the reaction:Magnesium has a molar mass of 24.31 g/mol. moles of Mg = mass of Mg / molar mass of Mgmoles of Mg = 1 g / 24.31 g/mol = 0.0411 mol2. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid:Mg s + 2 HCl aq MgCl2 aq + H2 g 3. Measure the temperature change T during the reaction using a thermometer.4. Calculate the heat q released or absorbed during the reaction using the formula:q = mcTwhere m is the mass of the solution assume it is approximately equal to the mass of water used , c is the specific heat capacity of the solution 4.18 J/gC for water , and T is the temperature change.5. Calculate the enthalpy change H per mole of magnesium:H = q / moles of MgOnce you have the temperature change, you can follow these steps to calculate the enthalpy of oxidation of magnesium according to the student's experiment.
