1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
In a calorimeter, a 1.0g sample of magnesium is burned to form MgO. In doing so, 25.5 kJ of energy is released. The molar enthalpy of combustion of magnesium is:

a) -0.0392 kJ/mol
b) -25.5 kL/mol
c) -306.2 kJ/mol
d) -620 kJ/mol



2. Relevant equations

Q= mc DELTA t



3. The attempt at a solution

2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO

.... don't know where to start


PLEASE! i need help fast

If 1g of magnesium releases 25.5 kJ of energy when burnt, how much energy will be released when 1 mole will be burnt?
