In this lab experiment students are asked to determine the standard molar enthalpy of formation of magnesium oxide, MgO. Students are asked to use Hess's Law and the enthalpy changes of several other solution reactions during this experiment. An nthalpyE & Hess's Law applet and a Linear Least Squares applet are provided for easy reference. Requires Java and QuickTime plug-ins for some features.
