Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. PMT (a) Describe and explain the variation in the solubilities of the hydroxides of the Group 2 elements.[4] The table lists the standard enthalpy changes of formation, ions. , for some compounds and aqueous species Ba2+(aq) OH(aq) CO2(g) BaCO3(s) H2O(l) / kJ mol1 538 230 394 1216 286 (b) (i) Reaction 1 occurs when CO2(g) is bubbled through an aqueous solution of Ba(OH)2. Use the data in the table to calculate the standard enthalpy change for reaction 1, 1. Ba(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) BaCO3(s) + H2O(l) reaction 1UCLES 2017 9701/43/M/J/17 1 =kJ mol1 [2]<br />
 PMT If CO2(g) is bubbled through an aqueous solution of Ba(OH)2 for a long time, the precipitated BaCO3(s) dissolves, as shown in reaction 2. BaCO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Ba(HCO3)2(aq) reaction 2 The standard enthalpy change for reaction 2, 2, = 26 kJ mol1. (ii) Use this information and the data in the table to calculate the standard enthalpy change of formation of the HCO3 (aq) ion. HCO3 (aq) =kJ mol1 [2] (iii) The overall process is shown by reaction 3. Use your answer to (ii), and the data given in the table, to calculate the standard enthalpy change for reaction 3, 3. Ba(OH)2(aq) + 2CO2(g) Ba(HCO3)2(aq) reaction 3 3 =kJ mol1 [1] (iv) How would the value of Ca(OH)2(aq) as shown in reaction 4? Explain your answer. 3 compare with the value of 4 for the similar reaction with Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2CO2(g) Ca(HCO3)2(aq) reaction 4[2] (c) The standard entropy change for reaction 1 is 1. Suggest, with a reason, how the standard entropy change for reaction 3 might compare with 1.[2]UCLES 2017 9701/43/M/J/17 [Total: 13] [Turn over<br />
