Question

1) The chemical reaction is as follow

Mg(s) + N2(g) + 3O2(g) ---> Mg(NO3)2(s)

2) rearrange the three data equations to yield the above reaction when added together, the first equation must be reversed so that the Mg(NO3)2 is on the right-hand side.

Mg3N2(s) + 6MgO(s) ---> 8Mg(s) + Mg(NO3)2(s) H° = +3280.88

3) Notice the 8Mg. We have to make that go away while leaving one Mg on the left- hand side.

3Mg(s) + N2(g) ---> Mg3N2(s) H° -461.08

2Mg(s) + O2(g) ---> 2MgO(s) H° -1203.60

4) Multiply the third equation by 3:

6Mg(s) + 3O2(g) ---> 6MgO(s) H° -3610.80

5) It gives us 9Mg from the 3Mg in the second data equation and 6Mg in the third. Finally we have the following data equations:

Mg3N2(s) + 6MgO(s) ---> 8Mg(s) + Mg(NO3)2(s) H° = +3280.88

3Mg(s) + N2(g) ---> Mg3N2(s) H° = -461.08

6Mg(s) + 3O2(g) ---> 6MgO(s) H° = -3610.80

6) Now we need to add all, the Mg3N2, the 6MgO and 8Mg will cancel. Adding the three enthalpies for the final answer:

+3280.88 + (-461.08) + (-3610.80) = -791 kJ
