In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 0.00500 mol of mg is reacted with enough hno3 to produce 100.0 ml of solution. the reaction is shown below: mg (s) + 2 hno3 (aq) → mg(no3)2 (aq) + h2 (g) the temperature of the solution rose from 25.0°c to 30.5°c. find δhrxn for the reaction as written. assume that the density of the solution if 1.00 g/ml and specific heat is 4.18 j/g · °c.

the correct answer is -179 kJ/mol

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
