Use the standard enthalpies of formation table found in this module on Canvas to

determine AH for the following reactions (take the heat for each product and multiply by
its coefficient and then add them all together minus the heat for each reactant and
multiplied by its coefficient and then add them all together):
a. Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₂* (aq) → Mg¹²(aq) + 2NH₂(g) +H₂O)
b. PbO(s) + C(s) → CO(g) + Pb(s)
c. Mn(s) + 4H*(aq) + SO₂²(aq) → Mn²(aq) + SO₂(g) + 2H₂O(1)

The standard enthalpy change for the given reactions are:

a. ΔH° = -484.4 kJ/mol.

b. ΔH° = 106.5 kJ/mol.

c. ΔH° = 1,146.2 kJ/mol.

To calculate the standard enthalpy change (ΔH°) for the given reactions, we need to use the standard enthalpies of formation table. We can calculate ΔH° by taking the sum of the products' enthalpies of formation multiplied by their coefficients and subtracting the sum of the reactants' enthalpies of formation multiplied by their coefficients.

a. Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₂*(aq) → Mg¹²(aq) + 2NH₂(g) +H₂O)

The enthalpy of formation of Mg(OH)₂(s) is -924.7 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of Mg²⁺(aq) is 0 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of NH₂(g) is 111.7 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of NH₂*(aq) is -133.3 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of H₂O(l) is -285.8 kJ/mol.

Therefore, ΔH° = (0 + 2*111.7 - 133.3 - 285.8) - (-924.7) = -484.4 kJ/mol.

b. PbO(s) + C(s) → CO(g) + Pb(s)

The enthalpy of formation of PbO(s) is -217.0 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of C(s) is 0 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of CO(g) is -110.5 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of Pb(s) is 0 kJ/mol.

Therefore, ΔH° = (0 - 110.5) - (-217.0 + 0) = 106.5 kJ/mol.

c. Mn(s) + 4H*(aq) + SO₂²(aq) → Mn²(aq) + SO₂(g) + 2H₂O(1)

The enthalpy of formation of Mn(s) is 0 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of H*(aq) is 0 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of SO₂²(aq) is -296.8 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of Mn²(aq) is 0 kJ/molThe enthalpy of formation of SO₂(g) is -296.8 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of H₂O(l) is -285.8 kJ/mol.

Therefore, ΔH° = (0 + 40 - 296.8) - (0 + 0 - 296.8 - 2-285.8) = 1,146.2 kJ/mol.
