(a) (v) The inter-ionic distance between the ions in NaF is very similar to that between the ions in MgO. Suggest with a reason, which compound has the higher lattice enthalpy value.

(b) (i) The standard enthalpy change of three combustion reactions is given below in kJ.

  • 2C2H6(g)+7O2(g)→  4CO2(g)+6H2O(l)           ΔHΘ=−31202
  • H2(g)+O2(g)→  2H2O(l)                                 ΔHΘ=−572
  • C2H4(g)+3O2(g)→  2CO2(g)+2H2O(l)           ΔHΘ=−1411

Based on the above information, calculate the standard change in enthalpy, ΔHΘ, for the following reaction.

[Marks: 3]

(b) (ii) Predict, stating a reason, whether the sign of ΔSΘ for the above reaction would be positive or negative.
