Answer to Problem 2E

The energy discharge when one mole of a compound is formed from elements is called the heat of formation. If the ΔHf value is negative then the reaction is exothermic.

Explanation of Solution

Oxidation reactions are good source of energy because they are always exothermic. Heat of formation is denoted by symbol ΔHf . The ΔHf value indicates how much heat is transferred when one mole of compound is formed from its element. To explore the usefulness of metal oxidation as an energy source, compare the amount of thermal energy transferring during the reactions. With the help of ΔHf , we can decide the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

Conclusion

The heat of formation value of Magnesium oxide is 602kJ and iron (III) oxide is 826kJ . From the ΔHf value it is clear that iron (III) oxide produces more energy than MgO .
