At 298 K298\,\text{K} the reaction Mg(s)+2 HCl(aq)  →  MgCl2(aq)+H2(g)\mathrm{Mg(s)+2\,HCl(aq)\;\rightarrow\;MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)} has ΔSrxn∘=−0.128 kJ mol−1 K−1\Delta S^{\circ}_{\text{rxn}} = -0.128\,\text{kJ\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. The following standard molar entropies are known: S∘ ⁣(MgCl2(aq))=93.1  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{MgCl_2(aq)}) = 93.1\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}, S∘ ⁣(H2(g))=130.7  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{H_2(g)}) = 130.7\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}, and S∘ ⁣(HCl(aq))=56.5  J mol−1 K−1S^{\circ}\!(\mathrm{HCl(aq)}) = 56.5\;\text{J\,mol}^{-1}\,\text{K}^{-1}. Determine the standard molar entropy of Mg(s)\mathrm{Mg(s)} at 298 K298\,\text{K}.
