Solution

The correct option is A $- 212 k J$
For the net reaction
$M g (s) + 1 / 2 O_{2} \to M g O (s)$
Reaction 1 and reaction 3 need to progress in forward direction and reaction 2 need to progress in backward direction.
$M g (s) + 2 H C l (a q) \to M g C l 2 (a q) + H 2 (g)$
$△ H = - 143 k J$ ...... (1)
$M g C I_{2} (a q) + H_{2} O (g) \to M g O (s) + 2 H C I (a q)$
$△ H = + 216 k J$ ...... (2)
$H_{2} (g) + 1 / 2 O_{2} \to H_{2} O (I)$
$△ H = - 285 k J$ ...... (3)
--------------------------------------------
$M g (s) + 2 H C l (a q) + H_{2} (g) + 1 / 2 O_{2} + M g C l_{2} (a q) + H_{2} O (g) \to M g O (s) + 2 H C l (a q) + M g C l_{2} (a q) + H_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l)$
Hence, the net reaction is
$M g (s) + 1 / 2 O_{2} \to M g O (s)$
The overall heat would be then:
Heat of Reaction 1 - heat of Reaction 2 + heat of Reaction 3
$Δ H = - 143 k J - (- 216 k J) + (- 285 k J) = - 212 k J$
