5.5 Enthalpy and Entropy Flashcards
what is enthalpy change of atomisation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms are formed from an element in its standard state
Na(s) -> Na(g)
what is first ionisation energy
energy required to remove the 1st electron from each atom in 1 mole of atoms in its gaseous state
Na(g) -> Na+(g) + e-
what is electron affinity
enthalpy change when every atom in 1 mol of gaseous atom acquires an electron to form 1 mol of gaseous ions
what does first electron affinity involve?
the electron being gained experiencing an attraction to the nucleus
is an exothermic reaction
what does second electron affinity involve?
the electron being gained experiencing repulsion by the negatively charged ions
what is enthalpy of formation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is made from its elements in their standard states
H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) -> H2O(l)
what does Hess’ law state
the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction depends only on the initial and final states and is independent on the path followed.
or
whatever route in which the reaction proceeds the overall enthalpy change for the reaction will be the same.
Born-Haber cycles
used primarily as a means of calculating lattice enthalpies which cannot otherwise be measured directly
made of many separate sub-processes each with their own enthalpies
what is the process of the Born-Haber cycle
- atomisation
- 1st ionisation
- atomisation
- electron affinity
- lattice enthalpy
- formation
what are exothermic reactions
release energy (get hot) makes bonds
what are endothermic reactions
absorb energy (get cold) breaks bond
why do solid ionic lattices form
not only as a result of the transfer of electrons, but also the huge release in energy that occurs when the 2 ions of opposite charge combine to form a solid
what is lattice enthalpy
enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
values are used as a measure of the strength of ionic bonding in giant ionic lattices
how do you calculate standard enthalpy change of solution
- calculate energy change (q) in kJ using q=mcT
- calculate amount in moles of the thing that’s being dissolved
- calculate standard enthalpy change of solution using △H=q/n
what is enthalpy change of solution
the enthalpy change for 1 mole of solute dissolving
the process of dissolving can be endo or exothermic
