Answer is: -601,2 kJ/mol
Chemical reaction: Mg(OH)₂ → MgO + H₂O.
ΔHrxn = 37,5 kJ/mol.
ΔHf(Mg(OH)₂) = <span>−924,5 kJ/mol.
</span>ΔHf(H₂O) = <span>−285,8 kJ/mol.
</span>ΔHrxn -enthalpy of reaction.
ΔHf - enthalpy of formation.
<span>ΔHrxn=∑productsΔHf−∑reactantsΔHf.
</span>ΔHf(MgO) = -924,5 kJ/mol - (-285,8 kJ/mol) + 37,5 kj/mol.
ΔHf(MgO) = -601,2 kJ/mol.
This kind of questions cannot be open because there might be many different answers depending of the focus.
In fact, I found the set of options that comes with this questions. This is:
A. behavior of ions.
B. molecular bonding.
C. molecular shape.
D. molecular motion.
Of course, the answer is the option D. molecular motion.
And, of course, you need an explanation.
It is good to know that the word kinetic refers to motion, so definetly kinetic molecular theory is a theory about the motion of the molecules.
With that you likely had been able to answer the question. But it is good to know what the molecular theory is.
The molecular kinetic molecular theory explains the properties and behavior of the gases in terms of the motion of its particles (molecules) making several assumptions about the energy, size and motion of such particles.
CH4+(x)O2=CO2 +(Y)H2O
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=2+? +H=?
H=4>>Y=2
C=1 +H=4 +O=? = C=1 +O=(2+2) +H=4
C=1 +H=4 +O=4 = C=1 +O=4 +H=4
O=4>>X=2
CH4+(2)O2 =CO2 +(2)H2O
Lipid you can look up the chemical structures and lipids are the longest which make them the largest
