Answer:

c. -60.20 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Heat produced by 2 moles of Mg = -1204 kj

Heat produced by 2.500 g of Mg = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂     →    2MgO         ∆H = -1204 Kj

No we will calculate the number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2.500 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Heat produced by one mole of Mg = -1204 kj/2 = -602 kj

Heat produced by 0.1 mole of Mg = 0.1 × -602 kj = -60.2 kj
