Hi, I'm currently studying thermochemistry and I've just performed an experiment using Hess's Law to calculate the enthalpy of combustion of magnesium.
Since, the combustion reaction of magnesium is very rapid and exothermic, I had to calculate its enthalpy of combustion indirectly with Hess's Law.
However, I was wondering, if there is an experimental technique that I could of used to determine the enthalpy of combustion of magnesium directly without using Hess's Law.
If anyone could help, that would be great.  Thanks!

there is one way to do it heres how,

all you need is the following:

1.)all the equipment you would normally use

2.) some sort of time machine so that you can slow down time itself

or maybe, and im only guessing but couldnt you combust a larger amount of magnesium which would take longer to combust?

cheers,
