Question

Consider the following balanced thermochemical equation for the decomposition of the mineral magnesite: MgCO 3 (s) MgO(s)+CO 2 (g) Delta H rop =117.3 kJ a) heat absorbed or released in the reaction? b) Write the thermochemical expression for the reverse reaction.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Thermochemical equation  for the decomposition of mineral magnetite is:

MgCO3 (s) MgO(s)+CO2 (g)     H° =117.3 kJ 

Heat is released or absorbed during this reaction?

Write the thermochemical expression for the reverse reaction.
