22.3 Factors affecting Lattice Enthalpy + Hydration Flashcards
What factors affect lattice enthalpy?
IONIC RADIUS
IONIC CHARGE
How does ionic radius affect lattice enthalpy?
↑ ionic radius
↓ ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION between oppositely charged ions in ionic lattice
WEAKER ionic bonds
less ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these bonds
LESS EXOTHERMIC lattice enthalpy
What overall determines lattice enthalpy?
IONIC BOND STRENGTH
How does ionic charge affect lattice enthalpy?
↑ ionic charge
↑ ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION between oppositely charged ions in ionic lattice
STRONGER ionic bonds
more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these bonds
MORE EXOTHERMIC lattice enthalpy
What factors affect hydration enthalpy?
IONIC RADIUS
IONIC CHARGE
What overall determines hydration enthalpy?
INTERMOLECULAR BOND STRENGTH
between IONS + H2O
How does ionic radius affect hydration enthalpy?
↑ ionic radius
WEAKER PERMANENT DIPOLE between IONS + H2O
less ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these forces
LESS EXOTHERMIC hydration enthalpy
How does ionic charge affect hydration enthalpy?
↑ ionic charge
STRONGER PERMANENT DIPOLE between IONS + H2O
more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these forces
MORE EXOTHERMIC hydration enthalpy
How can lattice enthalpy be an indicator of the melting point of an ionic compound?
lattice enthalpy = measure of bond strength
MORE EXOTHERMIC LE
= STRONGER ionic bonds, which require MORE ENERGY to break
= HIGHER m.p
During changes of state of simple covalent molecules, intermolecular forces are overcome.
However, giant ionic lattices have no intermolecular forces, ∴ become molten by…
breaking ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions
How can hydration enthalpy be a measure of intermolecular force (permanent dipoles) strength?
MORE EXOTHERMIC hyd
= more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of permanent dipoles
= stronger permanent dipoles
What type of intermolecular force is formed between dissociated gaseous ions of the ionic lattice + H2O molecules during hydration enthalpy?
permanent dipole
What is lattice enthalpy a measure of?
ionic bond strength
What is hydration enthalpy a measure of?
intermolecular force strength
between dissociated ions + H2O molecules.
If lattice enthalpy is more exothermic, ionic bonds are ____.
stronger.
∵ more energy released during formation, so require more energy to break.
