Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this list of thermodynamic properties. MgCl 2 ( s ) + H 2 O ( l ) ⟶ MgO ( s ) + 2 HCl ( g )

The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is 358.1 kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

For the given chemical reaction:

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the standard enthalpy change of the reaction is 358.1 kJ
