Answer:
1. Exothermic.
2. -1598 kJ.
Explanation:
Hello!
1. In this case, according to the reaction, we can infer that 799 kJ of energy are evolved (given off, released) it means that the enthalpy of reaction is negative as the reactants have more energy than the products; which means this is an exothermic reaction.
2. Here, as we know that the enthalpy of reaction is -799 kJ/mol, we can compute the q-value as shown below, considering the reacted 2 moles of solid iron:

Which means that 1598 kJ of energy are evolved when 2 moles of solid iron react.
Best regards!
Answer:
6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.
Explanation:
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given:
Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of
is decomposed. So,
= 0.0156
Thus,
kt = 4.1604
The expression for the half life is:-
Half life = 15.0 hours
Where, k is rate constant
So,

<u>6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.</u>
Balanced equation:
Mg + 2 HNO3 —> Mg(NO3)2 + H2
This is a metal + acid reaction giving salt and hydrogen (not water).
