A The brown colour fades B The pH increases C The purple colour fades D This is not a redox reaction 11177 Section B Answer all six questions in this section 11 Barium chloride is formed from its elements as follows: Ba(s) + Cl2(g) " BaCl2(s) -855 kJ mol-1 The following enthalpy changes can be used to calculate the lattice enthalpy of barium chloride: I Ba(s) " Ba(g) +175 kJ mol−1 II Ba(g) " Ba2+(g) + 2e− +1500 kJ mol−1 III Cl2(g) " 2Cl(g) +242 kJ mol−1 IV Cl(g) + e− " Cl−(g) −364 kJ mol−1 (a) What name is given to each of the enthalpy changes I–IV? I II III IV [4] (b) Explain what is meant by the term lattice enthalpy. [2] 11177 [Turn over (c) Calculate, to four significant figures, the lattice enthalpy of barium chloride. [2] (d) What name is given to the cycle used to calculate lattice enthalpy? [1] (e) Given Ba2+(g) " Ba2+(aq) −1309 kJ mol−1 Cl-(g) " Cl-(aq) −378 kJ mol−1 calculate, to an appropriate number of significant figures, the enthalpy of solution of barium chloride and use it to explain why barium chloride is soluble in water.
