Q

What does the purely ionic model of a lattice assume?

A
  • All ions are spherical & their charge is evenly distributed around them
  • Only ionic bonding
30
Q

Why are experimental lattice enthalpy values different to theoretical lattice enthalpy values?

A
  • Most ionic compounds have some partial covalent bonding
  • +ve/-ve ions in lattice aren’t usually spherical
    • +ve ions polarise neighbouring -ve ions to different extents
31
Q

Explain why the differences between experimental and lattice enthalpies are much bigger for magnesium halides than sodium halides

A
  • Shows bonding in magnesium halides is stronger than ionic model predicts
  • ∴ bonds are strongly polarised & have quite a lot of covalent character
  • Bonding in sodium halides is similar to production of ionic model = compounds closer to being purely ionic
32
Q

When a solid ionic lattice dissolves in water, what 2 things occur?

A
  1. Bonds between ions break to give free ions
    • Endothermic
  2. Bonds between ions and water are made
    • Exothermic
33
Q

Explain why water molecules can bond to ions

A
  • ∵ oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen ∴ it draws electrons towards itself = creating a dipole
  • Dipole means +ve charged H atoms can form bonds with -ve ions & -ve charged O atoms can form bonds with +ve ions
34
Q

Substances generally only dissolve if the energy…

A

released is roughly the same, or greater than the energy taken in

35
Q

Souble substances tend to have ______ enthalpies of solution

A

exothermic

39
Q

What is entropy (S)?

A

Measure of no. of ways that particles can be arranged & no. of ways that energy can be shared out between particles

40
Q

More disordered the particles are, the ____ (more +ve the value) entropy is

A

higher

41
Q

Name and describe 2 factors that affect entropy

A
  • Physical State
    • Solid = hardly any disorder = lowest entropy
    • Gas = most disordered arrangements = highest entropy
  • More Particles (means more entropy)
    • More particles you’ve got = more ways they + their energy can be arranged
42
Q

Why do substances always tend towards disorder?

A

They’re more energetically stable when there’s more disorder

∴ particles will move to increase their entropy

43
Q

Explain why the reaction of sodium hydrogencarbonate with hydrochloric acid is feasible even though it’s an endothermic reaction

A
  • Feasible due to the increase in entropy as the reaction produces CO2 gas and water
  • Liquids and gases are more disordered that solids and so have a higher entropy
  • & more moles are being produced
  • This increase in entropy overcomes the change in enthaply
    • TΔSH
    • ΔG<0

  • Repels electron being added
69
Q

Explain why the hydration enthaply of a fluoride ion is more negative than the hydration enthaply of a chloride ion (2)

A
  • Fluoride (ions) smaller (than chloride) / have larger charge density
  • So (negative charge) attracts (δ+ hydrogen on) water more strongly
70
Q

By describing the nature of the attractive forces involved, explain why the value of the enthaply of hydration for a chloride ions is more negative than that for the bromide ion (3)

A
  • Chloride (ions) are smaller (than bromide ions)
  • So the force of attraction between chloride ions and water is stronger
  • Chloride ions attract the δ+ on H of water / electron deficient H on water
