PMT 24 (a) Briefly describe an experiment, with a diagram of the apparatus you would use, which shows that there are oppositely charged ions in copper(II) chromate(VI), CuCrO4. Describe what you would expect to see. Formula of ion Cu2+(aq) CrO4 2(aq) Colour blue yellow (4) Diagram(b) The ions in an ionic lattice are held together by an overall force of attraction. (i) Describe the forces of attraction in an ionic lattice. (1)(ii) Suggest two forces of repulsion which exist in an ionic lattice. (2)18 *P39295A01824*<br />
 PMT (c) Part of the Born-Haber cycle for magnesium oxide, MgO, is shown below. Mg2+(g) + O(g) Mg2+(g) + O2(g) Mg(g) + O2(g) Mg(s) + O2(g) MgO(s) (i) Complete the empty box with the appropriate formulae and state symbols. (ii) Identify the enthalpy changes represented by the letters A and C. (2) (2) AC(iii) Give the expression for the enthalpy change F in terms of the other enthalpy changes A to E.

 PMT (d) The lattice composed of the ions Mg2+ and O2 is stronger than a lattice composed of the ions Mg+ and O . (i) Explain, in terms of the charges on the ions and the size of the cations, why this is so. (2)(ii) Suggest how the lattice energy of Mg2+O2 would differ from that of Mg+O.
