Question

1. In this experiment, you will use Hess's law to obtain the enthalpy change for the formation of magnesium oxide. Write a sentence (or two) in your own words that explains Hess's law. HESS'S law states that regardless of the multiple stages or steps of a reaction rather that the total enthalpy chang for the reaction is the sum of all changes. 2. Consider the explanation in the Introduction regarding the determination of qrxn, and answer the following questions about the reactions that you will be performing in this experiment. a. If the temperature of the HCl solution increases, did the solution absorb heat or release heat? b. Will qsoln be a positive or negative quantity? c. If the temperature of the HCl solution increases, then did the reaction absorb heat or release heat? d. How are qsoln and qrxn related to one another? e. Will qrxn be a positive or negative quantity? 3. A student observed that, when 0.243 g of magnesium was added to 100.0 g of hydrochloric acid, the temperature of the solution increased 11.2 °C. Without doing any calculations, what observations can you make to support your claim that the reaction that occurred between magnesium and hydrochloric acid was exothermic?
