(a) Account for formation of the following series of oxides in terms of the electron configurations of the elements and the discussion of ionic compounds in Section: K2O, CaO, Sc2O3, TiO2, V2O5, CrO3. (b) Name these oxides. (c) Consider the metal oxides whose enthalpies of formation (in kJ mol1) are listed here.

Oxide

K2O(s)

CaO(s)

TiO2(s)

V2O5(s)

ΔHf°

-363.2

-635.1

-938.7

-1550.6

Calculate the enthalpy changes in the following general reaction for each case:

MnOm(s) + H2(g)→nM(s) + mH2O(g)

(You will need to write the balanced equation for each case and then compute ΔH°.) (d) Based on the data given, estimate a value of ΔHf° for Sc2O3(s)
