5.2 - Energy Flashcards
Bond Enthalpy def
Average energy required to break one mole of bonds in one mole of gaseous species
Enthalpy change of combustion def
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of substance is burnt completely, in excess oxygen
Enthalpy change of reaction def
Energy change when the amount in moles of the substances as written react
Enthalpy change of formation def
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of substances is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states
Enthalpy change of neutralisation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of water is formed in a reaction between an acid and a base
Lattice Enthalpy def
The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of solid ionic lattice/compound from its constituent gaseous ions
K+(g) + Cl-(g) → KCl(g)
Delta(LE)H = 711 kJmol1
Method to determine lattice enthalpies
Born-Haber cycle
Why is lattice Enthalpy negative?
Bonds are being made - BENDOMEX
- reaction is exothermic
Atomisation def
Formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from constituent elements in standard states
Enthalpy change of 1st electron affinity def
When 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions is formed from 1 mole of gaseous atoms
The student looked in a text book and found that the actual value for the standard enthalpy change of combustion of propan1ol was more exothermic than the experimental value. Suggest two reasons for the difference between this value and the one he obtained experimentally.
(2 Marks)
- heat losses to the surroundings
- Incomplete combustion
- alcohol evaporated off
- non-standard conditions (not very usual on mark schemes anymore)
Enthalpy change of hydration def
Enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions dissolve in water to form an infinitely dilute solution (under standard conditions and in standard states)
K+(g) + aq —> K+(aq)
Enthalpy change of solution def
Enthalpy change when one mole of solid dissolves in a solvent to form an infinitely dilute solution (under standard conditions and in standard)
When do substances tend to dissolve?
In terms of enthalpy changes - exo and endo
When enthalpy change of solution is = 0 or -ve (exothermic)
This is only usually occuring though - some ammonia salts can dissolve during endothermic reactions
What factors affect enthalpy of hydration:
Size:
- smaller size of ions - more exothermic
- larger charge density ratio: form more bonds
Charge:
- greater charge = more exothermic
- greater charge density so can also form more bonds
What is entropy?
- A measure of how disordered a system is
- the number of ways that particles can be arranged
- the dispersion of energy
What causes an increase in entropy?
The more disordered the system is or the more disordered the particles are - the higher the entropy of the system is
Entropies of each state/condition
Solid - no disorder - low entropy
Liquid - some disorder - higher entropy
Gas - lots of disorder - highest entropy
