Define lattice enthalpy
The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions.
What kind of energy change will lattice enthalpy always be?
Exothermic
Enthalpy change is negative
What is the Born-Haber cycle?
A way of indirectly calculating lattice enthalpy from other known energy changes.
What is the formation of gaseous atoms and what energy change is it?
Changing elements in their standard states into gaseous atoms.
Endothermic as it involves bond breaking.
npomkcd
Exothermic.
Define standard enthalpy change of formation
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions, with all reactants and products in their standard states.
Define standard enthalpy change of atomisation
The enthalpy change that takes place for the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard state under standard conditions.
Define first ionisation energy
The enthalpy change required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions.
Why is ionisation energy always endothermic?
Energy is required to overcome the attraction between a negative electron and a positive nucleus.
Define first electron affinity
The enthalpy change that takes place when one electron is added to each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1- ions.
Why is first electron affinity always exothermic?
Electron being added is attracted in towards the nucleus.
Why are successive electron affinities endothermic?
The negative ion repels the additional electron, so energy is required to force the electron onto it.
Define standard enthalpy change of solution
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a solute dissolves in a solvent.
What happens for a solid ionic compound to dissolve in water?
Ionic lattice breaks up
Water molecules are attracted to and surround the ions.
Define enthalpy change of hydration
The enthalpy chnage that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form one mole of aqueous ions
Describe the effect of ionic size on lattice enthalpy and melting point
Ionic radius increases
Attraction between ions decreases
Lattice enthalpy becomes smaller (less negative)
Melting point decreases
Describe the effect of ionic charge on lattice enthalpy and melting point
Ionic charge increases
Attraction between ions increases
Lattice enthalpy becomes greater (more negative)
Melting point increases
Describe the effect of ionic size on hydration enthalpy
Ionic radius increases
Charge density decreases
Attraction between ions and water molecules decreases
Hydration enthalpy becomes smaller (less negative)
Describe the effect of ionic charge on hydration enthalpy
Ionic charge increases
Attraction between ions and water molecules increases
Hydration enthalpy becomes greater (more negative)
Why is hydration enthalpy an inaccurate method of predicting solubility?
Many compounds with endothermic enthalpy changes of solution are soluble
Define entropy
A measure of the dispersal of energy and order within in a system
What are the units of entropy?
J/K/mol
