Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

Calculate the approximate enthalpy of the reaction in joules. Estimate that 1.0 mL of vinegar has the same thermal mass as 1.0 m
Nesterboy [21]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

   Density of vinegar = 1.0 g/ml

   Specific heat capacity = 4.25 J/g ^{o}C

   T_{1} = 17 ^{o}C,  and   T_{2} = 14 ^{o}C

Relation between enthalpy and specific heat is as follows.

                   \Delta H = mC \Delta T

Hence, putting the values into the above formula as follows.

          \Delta H = mC \Delta T

                  = 25 \times 1.0 \times 4.25 J/g ^{o}C \times -3^{o}C          (as density = \frac{mass}{volume})

                               = - 315 J

Thus, we can conclude that the enthalpy of reaction is -315 J.

As the value is negative so, it means that heat is releasing. Hence, the reaction is exothermic in nature.
