Mg reacts with the H+ (aq) according to the Mg (s) + 2H+ (aq)------------> Mg 2+ (aq) + H2 (g)
Assume that 0.524 g of Mg is reacted with the 60.o ml of 1.0 M H+(aq). Suppose that the density of the H+ (aq) solution os 1.00 g/ml, and that it's specific heat capacity equals that of water. The initial and final temperatures are 22.0 degree Celsius and 65.8degree Celsius.
1. Discuss ts the reaction exothermic or endothermic?
2. Estimate the ΔH of the reaction. Use correct sigs and give units.
3. Determine the ΔH of the reaction per mole of magnesium.
