5D - Lattice enthalpy & Free energy definitions Flashcards
Lattice enthalpy (ΔLEH⦵)
The enthalpy change where 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
Standard enthalpy change of formation (ΔfH⦵)
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions
First ionisation energy (ΔIE1H⦵)
The 1 = 1st ionisation energy, it would 2 if it’s 2nd ionisation etc…
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a electrons are removed from 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
Standard enthalpy change of atomisation (ΔatH⦵)
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms are formed from their elements in their standard states under standard conditions
1st electron affinity (ΔEA1H⦵)
Don’t forget the circle with the line through it at the top of the H
The 1 will change on which electron affinity it is e.g. ΔEA2H⦵ would be 2nd electron affinity
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms gain 1 mole of electrons to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions
The way you construct a Born-Haber cycle and the hess cycle that goes with it
Always do one thing after the other

Hess cycle between ΔrH⦵, ΔfH⦵ and ΔLEH⦵

Enthalpy (H)
The heat content stored in a chemical system
Standard enthaply change of hydration (ΔhydH⦵)
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions are added to water to form 1 mole of aqueous ions under standard conditions
Standard enthalpy change of solution (ΔsolH⦵)
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a ionic solid is completely dissolved in water under standard conditions
Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation (ΔneutH⦵)
Enthalpy change of an acid/ base reaction to form 1 mole of water under standard conditions with reactants and products in their standard states
Hess cycle linking ΔsolH⦵ and ΔhydH⦵ together and explain the difference in the 2 routes
Route 1:
- Single step process of ΔsolH⦵
Route 2:
- 2 step process
- Ionic lattice is first broken down into constituent gaseous ions - inverse of ΔLEH⦵
- During 2nd step, ions become surrounded by, and form electrostatic interactions with solvent molecules. When solvent is H2O this is referred to as ΔhydH⦵

- Draw a born Haber type diagram to represent the Hess cycle linking ΔsolH⦵ and ΔhydH⦵
- What is different about this digram compared to other born haber cycle diagrams?
- The arrow for ΔsolH⦵ DOESN’T represent whether it’s endo/exothermic. It can be either but for this diagram it is always drawn facing upwards
- ∑ΔhydH⦵ represents the sum of all the individual enthalpy changes of hydration of the constituent gaseous ions

Hess’s law
If a reaction can take place by more than 1 route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total anthalpy change is the same for each route
Standard conditions
Pressure = 100kPa / 1atm
Temperature = 298K / 25ºC
Concentration of solutions = 1moldm-3
Standard physical states
Entropy
Symbol and units = ?
Entropy = The degree of disorder in a system
Symbol = S
Units = JK-1mol-1
Equation:
Entropy change = ?
Units = ?
Entropy change = ∑entropy change of products - ∑entropy change of reactants
ΔS = ∑Sproducts - ∑Sreactants
Units = JK-1mol-1
Equation + definition:
Free energy
Units = ?
What the value of ΔG means for the reaction?
Free energy change (ΔG) = Measure of feasibility of a reaction
- ΔG < 0 (feasible)
- ΔG > 0 (not feasible)
- ΔG = 0 (boundary)
Units for Free energy (ΔG) = KJmol-1
- ΔH = KJmol-1 and ΔS = JK-1mol-1 ∴ remember to convert KJ → J by x1000!
- Temp must be in K

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Explain how the value of ΔH and ΔS affect the value of ΔG.
