(a) Na3N remained an elusive compound until

20O2. Calculate a value for ΔfH°(Na3N, s) using data from Appendices 8 and 10, and the following estimated values of ΔH(298 K):

ΔEAH = +2120 kJ mol 1

3Na+ (g) + N3" (g) — Na3N (s)

ΔiatticH° = -4422 Id mol-1

Comment on whether the value obtained is sufficient to indicate whether Na3N is thermodynamically stable.


(b) The high-temperature crystalline form of RbNH2 adopts a structure with a ccp array of [NH2] ions and Rb ions occupying octa­hedral sites. To which structure type does this correspond? Sketch a unit cell of RbNH2 and confirm the stoichiometry of the compound by considering the number of ions per unit cell.
