Using data in Appendix L, calculate $\Delta G^{\circ}$ values for the decomposition of $\mathrm{MCO}_{3}$ to $\mathrm{MO}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ where $\mathrm{M}=\mathrm{Mg}$ Ca, Ba. What is the relative tendency of these carbonates to decompose?

Consider the following balanced thermochemical equation for the decomposition of the mineral magnesite: $$\mathrm{MgCO}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{MgO}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) \quad \Delta H=117.3 \mathrm{kJ}$$ (a) Is heat absorbed or released in the reaction? (b) What is $\Delta H$ for the reverse reaction? (c) What is $\Delta H$ when 5.35 mol of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ reacts with excess MgO? (d) What is $\Delta H$ when 35.5 $\mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ reacts with excess MgO?

00:01 We're going to be talking about dl -h.
00:01 So in order to find out your dl -h is going to be your dl -h of your reactants.
00:12 We're not reacting.
00:14 It's the opposite.
00:18 Your delt -h are products minus your dl -h of your reactants.
00:29 And it would be how many moles you have of that reacting times your dl -h.
00:36 So in this case, for a, since you have one mole, of each of them, the mg -c -o -3, m -g -o and co2, then you multiply by one, which we'll leave it the same.
00:51 So when you look in the appendix b, you find that mgo is negative 601 .8, and you have to add that to your c -l -2, which is negative 393 .5 and you subtract that from your mgco3, which is going to be negative 1 .11 ,12 .9...
