Write the thermochemical equation for the standard enthalpy of formation of MgO(s). Use your data and Hess's Law to determine the value of ΔfH°(MgO).(Enter fractional coefficients as needed, e.g. 1/2 or 0.5 for 1/2) You will need the following piece of additional data:
H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → H2O(l) ΔH° = -285.84 kJ
Accepted literature value for MgO enthalpy of formation: -601.7 kJ
Calculate the percent error in the MgO enthalpy of formation:
