Group 4A
The elements in group 4 show the most diverse set of properties.
All alkail metals react with halogens vigorously to produce salt. The alkali metal would loose an electron to form and ion with the halogen
∆H ° rxn =-2855.56 kJ

Given
ΔHf CO₂ = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔHf H₂O = -241.82 kJ/mol
ΔHf C₂H₆ = - 84.68 kJ/mol
Reaction
2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) -> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Required
ΔHrxn=
Solution
<em>∆H ° rxn = ∑n ∆Hf ° (product) - ∑n ∆Hf ° (reactants) </em>
∆H ° rxn = (4.-393.5+6.-241.82)-(2.-84.68)
∆H ° rxn = (-1574-1450.92)-(-169.36)
∆H ° rxn =-3024.92+169.36
∆H ° rxn =-2855.56 kJ
<u>Answer:</u> The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.
The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.
Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 
This element will loose 2 electrons to form
ion
Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 
This element will gain 1 electron to form
ion
So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes 
Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula 
In order to find the percentage change in mass, you must d<span>ivide </span>Change in Mass<span> by Initial </span>Mass<span>. After that, you divide the </span>change in mass<span> by the initial </span>mass<span> of your substance.
This calculation shows what proportion of the initial </span>mass<span> changed. To find the </span>percent change<span>, simply multiply this number by 100</span>
