3 Energy changes take place when water dissolves compounds and when water changes its physical state. (a) You are provided with the following information. Ion Na+ Mg2+ OH Hhydration /kJ mol1 405 1926 460 The enthalpy change of solution of Mg(OH)2 is 152 kJ mol1. (i) Define, in words, the terms enthalpy change of solution and enthalpy change of hydration. enthalpy change of solutionenthalpy change of hydration[3] (ii) Explain the difference between the Hhydration values for Na+ and Mg2+.[3]OCR 2013<br />
 (iii) A BornHaber cycle can be drawn to link the lattice enthalpy and enthalpy change of solution of Mg(OH)2 with hydration enthalpies. On the two dotted lines, add the species present, including state symbols.lattice enthalpyMg(OH)2(s) Mg2+(aq) + 2OH(aq) [2] (iv) Calculate the lattice enthalpy of Mg(OH)2. lattice enthalpy =kJ mol1 [2]OCR 2013 Turn over<br />
 (b) Energy changes for the melting and boiling of H2O are shown below. H = +6.01 kJ mol1 H = +40.7 kJ mol1 H2O(l) H2O(g) H2O(s) H2O(l) Standard entropies of H2O in its three physical states are given in the table below. S o / J K1 mol1 H2O(s) +48.0 H2O(l) +70.0 H2O(g) +188.7 (i) Explain the following:When water melts or boils, H is positiveWhen water melts or boils, S o increases. In your answer, you should explain why the increase in S o is much greater when water boils than when water melts.[3] (ii) Using the data in the table above, show that ice melts at 0 C (at standard pressure).OCR 2013 [3] [Total: 16]<br />
