(i) Write a thermochemical equation that represents the standard enthalpy change of formation of S2Cl2. [2] (ii) A chemist wishes to prepare 10.0 cm3 of S2Cl2 from its elements. Use the data in the table to calculate the mass of sulfur required to produce this volume of S2Cl2. Give your answer to 4 significant figures. [2]
