Homework Statement
Calculate Delta G Degree for
2Mg(s) + O2(g) -> 2MgO(s)
Homework Equations
Delta G = (Delta G of products - Delta G of reactants)
The Attempt at a Solution
So according to my book's appendix, the dG of Mg is 0, the dG of O2 is 0, and the dG of MgO is -596.6. So I figured the equation would be:
(2*-596.6) - 0, and that was incorrect. Where am I going wrong?
