The combustion of magnesium creates so much energy so quickly that it is hard to measure its enthalpy directly using a simple calorimeter. however, you will break this reaction down into other intermediate reactions whose enthalpies you can – and will – measure. what broad question are you answering by doing this experiment?

How can you use Hess’s law to determine a reaction’s enthalpy?

Which of the following describe your question? :

It was about Hess’s law.

It was about computing enthalpy.

It was a general question not specifically about magnesium combustion.

It was an open-ended question, which can not be answered “yes” or “no.”

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
