17 This question is about Group 2 and Group 17 (7). 10 (a) Barium chloride can be prepared from barium hydroxide in a neutralisation reaction. Write the equation for this reaction. State symbols are not required.[1] (b) The reactivity of the Group 2 elements MgBa increases down the group. Explain why.[3] (c) On gently heating, the compound KCl O3 reacts as shown in the equation. KCl (s) + 3KCl O4(s) 4KCl O3(s) This reaction is an example of disproportionation. (i) State what is meant by disproportionation and use oxidation numbers to show that disproportionation has taken place.[3] (ii) What is the systematic name for KCl O4?[1]<br />
 (d) Two changes are described below. 11 For each change,write an equation, including state symbols,state and explain how the entropy changes. (i) The reaction of aqueous barium nitrate with aqueous sodium sulfate. Full equation with state symbolsExplanation of entropy change[2] (ii) The change that accompanies the standard enthalpy change of atomisation of iodine. Equation with state symbolsExplanation of entropy change[2]<br />
