Q

What are the enthalpy changes when forming ionic compounds?

A

1) Atomisation of both elements.
2) Ionisation to form cation
3) Electron affinity to form anion
4) Lattice formation

17
Q

What is Hess’s law?

A

The total enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the same regardless of the route taken, provided conditions are constant.

18
Q

What is a Born-Haber cycle?

A

A thermochemical cycle that includes all the enthalpy changes involved in the formation of an ionic compound.

19
Q

What are Born-Haber cycles used for?

A

To see if compounds might be expected to exist (-ΔHf).
To find the unknown quantity of lattice formation enthalpy.

20
Q

What is the correlation of the size of the ion and the lattice enthalpies?

A

The larger the ion the smaller the lattice enthalpy as the opposite charges do no approach each other as closely.

21
Q

What is the correlation of the size of the nuclear charge and the lattice enthalpies?

A

As nuclear charge increases the lattice enthalpy increases as ions with double the charge give out roughly twice as much energy when they come together.

22
Q

What is the solubility of ionic solids like?

What are they soluble in

A

Only dissolve well in polar solvents.

23
Q

What happens during hydration of ionic solids?

A

The serparate ions are solvated by the solvent molecules which cluster around the ions so the cation are surrounded by the negative ends of the dipole of water molecules and vice versa.

24
Q

How do you calculate the enthalpy of solution of an ionic compound?

A

1) Find the lattice dissociation enthalpy
2) Find the enthalpy of solution of the ions. (Hydrating the ion)

25
Q

Why is there a large discrepancy between the experimental and theoretical values for the lattice formation enthalpy?

A

There may be some covalent character.
If the cation can approach the anion closely and attract the electron clouds of the anion the anion is polarised and there is a degree of electron sharing covalency.

26
Q

What factors increase polarisation?

A

Cation - small size, high charge.
Anion - large size, high charge.

27
Q

What is a feasible/ spontaneous reaction?

A

A reaction that could take place on its own.

28
Q

What is entropy?

A

The randomness of a system.

29
Q

What affects whether a reaction is feasible or not?

A

The enthalpy change - negative
The entropy - high

30
Q

What increases entropy?

A

If the reaction involves disordering, the arrangement of the particles in the products is more reactive than in the reactants.

31
Q

What effect does temperature have on the entropy?

A

Entropy increases with temperature as at a higher temperature the particles spread out and randomness increases.

32
Q

What is the formula for Gibbs free energy?

A

△G = △H - T△S

33
Q

What is the formula for entropy?

A

△S = △S(products) - △S(reactants)

34
Q

What does it mean if △G is negative?

A

The reaction is feasible.

35
Q

What does it mean if △G = 0?

A

The point where the reaction is just feasible.
At what temperature equilibrium exists in a closed system.

36
Q

What is △G used for?

A

To investigate under what temperature the reaction is feasible.

37
Q

What is the issue with △G?

A

It tells us nothing about how quickly a reaction is likely to go, so the reaction might be feasible but it goes so slowly that for practical reasons it doesn’t occur at all. (High activation energy)
Thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.
