Answer: A 0.1375-g sample of solid magnesium is burned in
Chapter 6, Problem 37P(choose chapter or problem)
A 0.1375-g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of \(3024\ \mathrm{J} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The temperature increases by \(1.126^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the heat given off by the burning Mg, in kJ/g and in kJ/mol.
