SECTION B Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 9 This question is about magnesium chloride, MgCl2. It can be formed by burning magnesium in chlorine. Mg(s) + Cl2(g) (cid:111) MgCl2(s) (cid:507)S(cid:57) surroundings = +2152 J mol1 K1 Remember to include a sign and units in your answers to the calculations in this question. (a) (i) The standard molar entropy at 298 K for 1 mol chlorine molecules, Cl2, is +165 J mol1 K1. Use this, and appropriate values from your Data Booklet, to calculate the standard entropy change of the system, (cid:507)S(cid:57) system, for this reaction. *(ii) Explain fully why the sign for the standard entropy change of the system, (cid:507)S(cid:57) system, is as you would expect. (2) (2)(b) Calculate the total entropy change, (cid:507)S(cid:57) your answer to three significant figures. total, in J mol1K1, for this reaction, giving (2) *P42972A0924* Turn over<br />
 (2) (1) (2) (c) Use the standard entropy change of the surroundings, (cid:507)S(cid:57) standard enthalpy change, (cid:507)H (cid:57), in kJ mol1, for the reaction at 298 K. surroundings, to calculate the (d) 0.0300 mol of magnesium chloride, prepared by burning magnesium in chlorine, is added to 51.5 cm3 of water. 50.0 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm3 solution is formed, and the temperature rise, (cid:507)T, is 22.5C. (i) Calculate the energy transferred in joules for this process using: Energy transferred in joules = volume of solution (cid:113) 4.2 (cid:113) (cid:507)T (ii) Calculate the enthalpy change of solution, (cid:507)Hsolution, of magnesium chloride in kJ mol1. 10 *P42972A01024*<br />
 *(iii) The enthalpy change of hydration of Mg2+(g) is 1920 kJ mol1. Use this, your value from (d)(ii), and the experimental lattice energy from your Data Booklet, to calculate the enthalpy change of hydration of Cl(g). (3) Mg2+(g) + 2Cl(g) MgCl2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2Cl(aq) AnswerkJ mol1 (iv) Draw a diagram to represent a hydrated chloride ion. (v) Suggest why the addition of anhydrous magnesium chloride to water results in an increase in temperature and a decrease in volume. (1) (2) Temperature increasesVolume decreases(Total for Question 9 = 17 marks) *P42972A01124* 11 Turn over<br />
