The combustion of magnesium creates so much energy so quickly that it is hard to measure its enthalpy directly using a simple calorimeter. However, you will break this reaction down into other intermediate reactions whose enthalpies you can – and will – measure. What broad question are you answering by doing this experiment?

Answer:

It was about Hess’s law.

It was about computing enthalpy.

It was a general question not specifically about magnesium combustion.

"How can you use Hess’s law to determine a reaction’s enthalpy?"

It was about Hess’s law.

It was about computing enthalpy.

It was a general question not specifically about magnesium combustion.

It was an open-ended question, which can not be answered “yes” or “no.”
