Group 2 carbonates decompose when heated to form the metal oxide and carbon dioxide. Suggest a mechanism for the decomposition of the carbonate ion by adding two curly arrows in . O O– –O C CO2 O2– + Describe the variation in the thermal stability of Group 2 carbonates. Explain your answer. Define lattice energy. The lattice energy of the Group 2 carbonates, ΔH o latt(MCO3), becomes less exothermic down the group. The lattice energy of the Group 2 oxides, ΔH o latt(MO), also becomes less exothermic down the group. ΔH o latt(MCO3) and ΔH o latt(MO) change by different amounts going down the group. Suggest how the standard enthalpy change of the decomposition reaction for Group 2 carbonates changes down the group. Explain your reasoning in terms of the relative sizes of the anions and the relative changes in lattice energy down the group. Potassium sulfite, K2SO3, is used as a food additive.
