1. Lattice enthalpy Flashcards
Definition Lattice enthalpy
4 points
the enthalpy change that accompanies
the formation of one mole of an ionic lattice
from its gaseous ions
under standard conditions
Definition Standard enthalpy change of formation △fHθ
4 points
enthalpy change that accompanies
the formation of 1 mole of a compound
from its elements
under standard conditions
Definition of First ionisation energy △ I1 H θ
4 points
enthalpy change that accompanies
the removal of 1 mole of electrons
from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
under standard conditions
formation of ionic solid lattice
e.g. potassium chloride
K+(g) + Cl-(g) -> KCl(s) △ LE H θ =-711
3 Key things to notice-
- ions both gaseous
- one mole of substance formed
- enthapy change is negative (exothermic) energy is released to surroundings
What does a more exothermic (more negative) lattice enthalpy △ LE H θ indicate?
(2 things)
- Stronger ionic bonds (Stronger electrostatic interactions).
- Higher mpt and bpt (more energy required to overcome electrostatic interactions)
what 2 things cause lattice enthalpy to be more exothermic (negative)?
- small ions (can get closer together)
2. large charges (large electrostatic forces)
- why is it not possible to measure a lattice enthalpy directly?
- how do we measure lattice enthalpy?
- impossible to form 1 mole of an ionic solid from its gaseous ions
- Born-Haber cycle
what are the 4 key features of a Born-Haber cycle
- continuous cycle formed that can start at elements and end at elements
- includes one step that shows formation of ionic solid lattice from the gaseous ions (corresponds to lattice enthalpy)
- remaining steps show intermediate changes that correspond to key enthalpy changes that can be measured
- lattice enthalpy can be calculated by applying Hess’ law. if a reaction can take place via more than 1 route and initial and final conditions are the same the total enthalpy change for each route is the same.
The standard enthalpy change of formation
- definition?
- exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of a compound is formed
from its constituent elements
in their standard states - usually exothermic for an ionic compound
bonds are formed
The standard enthalpy change of atomisation
- definition?
- exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed
from its element
in its standard state - always endothermic
bonds have to be broken
The first ionisation energy
- definition?
- exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions are formed
from gaseous atoms - endothermic
electron being lost has to overcome attraction to nucleus
The second ionisation energy
- definition?
- exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of gaseous 2+ moles formed
from 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions. - endothermic
electron being lost has to overcome attraction to nucleus
The first electron affinity
(electron affinity is the addition of electrons)
1. definition?
2. exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions is formed
from gaseous atoms - exothermic
electron is attracted to the outer shell of an atom by the nucleus
The second electron affinity (addition of electrons)
- definition?
- exothermic/endothermic?
- 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions is formed
from gaseous 1- ions - endothermic
electron repelled by 1- ion
repulsion has to be overcome
how can we apply Hess law to Born-Haber cycle
enthalpy change of formation= the sum of all the other enthalpy changes
sum of anticlockwise enthalpy changes = sum of clockwise enthalpy changes
