Ch 22 Enthalpy And Entropy Flashcards
Why are solid ionic compounds very stable
Strength of ionic bonds, electrostatic attractions creates a substantial energy barrier that must be overcome
The Born-Haber cycle
Lattice enthalpy (ionic bond formation from separate gaseous ions) can’t be measured directly so this cycle used See diagram 1 Route 2 converts elements directly to ionic lattice, this is enthalpy change of formation and is exothermic
In its solid lattice a compound will always be…
Ionic
Standard enthalpy change of atomisation
See diagram 2
It’s always endothermic because bonds broken to form gaseous atoms
Born Haber cycle examples
See diagram 3 and 4
Successive electron affinities
See diagram 5
Enthalpy of solution is exo or endo
Can be either
In q=mcT mass is
Mass of solution not mass of water
Determination of enthalpy change of solution

Properties of ionic compounds
High melting and boiling points
Soluble in polar solvents
Conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution
Indication of m.p. Of ionic compound
Magnitude of lattice energy
Effect of ionic charge and size across period 3
See diagram 10
To predict solubility
To dissolve ionic compound in water quantity of energy must equal lattice enthalpy
H2O molecules attracted to ions surrounding them and releasing energy equal to hydration enthalpy
If sum of hydration enthalpies is larger then magnitude of lattice enthalpy overall enthalpy change will be exothermic and compound should dissolve but solubility also depends on temp and entropy
