Answer:

Explanation: A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Molecular compounds are named with the first element first and then the second element by using the stem of the element name plus the suffix -ide. Numerical prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms in a molecule

Answer: Th enthalpy of combustion for the given reaction is 594.244 kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy of combustion is defined as the decomposition of a substance in the presence of oxygen gas.

W are given a chemical reaction:

$Mg(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)$

$c=5760J/^oC$

$\Delta T=0.570^oC$

To calculate the enthalpy change, we use the formula:

$\Delta H=c\Delta T\\\\\Delta H=5760J/^oC\times 0.570^oC=3283.2J$

This is the amount of energy released when 0.1326 grams of sample was burned.

So, energy released when 1 gram of sample was burned is = $\frac{3283.2J}{0.1326g}=24760.181J/g$

Energy 1 mole of magnesium is being combusted, so to calculate the energy released when 1 mole of magnesium ( that is 24 g/mol of magnesium) is being combusted will be:

$\Delta H=24760.181J/g\times 24g/mol\\\\\Delta H=594244.3J/mol\\\\\Delta H=594.244kJ/mol$

As matter changes, what happens to the energy?

OlgaM077 [116]

Energy, Temperature, and Changes of State

Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid.
