Chapter 22 Flashcards
Ionic bonds
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely-charged ions in the lattice structure
Lattice Enthalpy
Measure of the strength of ionic bonding in a giant ionic lattice
Lattice Enthalpy DEFINITION
Enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
Equation for KCl lattice Enthalpy?
K+ (g) + Cl- (g) -> KCl (s)
Gaseous ions -> solid ionic compounds
It is an EXOTHERMIC change and will always be negative as it involves bond formation (which releases energy)
Depict lattice Enthalpy on a cycle?
It is a downwards arrow from gaseous ions to the ionic lattice
What is a born-Haber cycle?
Cannot be measured directly and must be calculated indirectly
Born-Haber route for KCl Route 1?
Elements in standard states -> gaseous atoms (endothermic - formation of gaseous atoms)
Gaseous atoms -> gaseous ions (endothermic - formation of gaseous ions)
Gaseous ions -> ionic lattice (LATTICE ENTHALPY - EXOTHERMIC)
Born Haber cycle Route 2?
Changing from standard state directly to the ionic lattice - this is the Enthalpy change of FORMATION - this is Exothermic (just one Enthalpy change)
Standard Enthalpy change of formation?
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
Standard Enthalpy change of atomisation? Give example for Cl2
Enthalpy change that takes place for the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard state under standard conditions
1/2Cl2 (g) -> Cl(g)
Nature of Enthalpy change of atomisation?
Always endothermic as bonds are broken to form gaseous atoms ; when the element is a gas in its standard state, the standard Enthalpy change of atomisation = bond Enthalpy of bond being broken
Cl2(g) -> 2Cl(g) = +242kJ/mol
1/2 Cl2(f) -> Cl(g) = 121kJ/mol
First ionisation energy?
Enthalpy change required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions
Na (g) -> Na+ (g) + e-
Nature of ionisation energies?
Endothermic because energy required to overcome the attraction between a negative electron and the positive nucleus
Electron affinity
Opposite of ionisation energy - measures the energy to GAIN electrons - first electron affinity is 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
Cl(g) + e- -> Cl- (g)
Nature of electron affinity
Exothermic because the electron being added is attracted in towards the nucleus
Ionisation energy/electron affinity of NaCl?
Ionisation energy of Na to Na+ (endothermic) - release an electron
Electron affinity of Cl to Cl- (Exothermic) - gain that electron
Second electron affinity?
With Oxygen - second electron affinities are endothermic… a second electron is being gained by a negative ion which repels the electron away so energy must be put in to force the negatively charged electron onto the negative ion
First electron affinity Exothermic
What happens when salt dissolves in water?
Water molecules are able to break up the giant ionic lattice structure and overcome the strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions - this is what happens when salt dissolves in water
Standard Enthalpy of solution
Enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a solute dissolves in a solvent ; if the solvent is water the ions from the ionic lattice finish up surrounded with water molecules as aqueous ions
Equation for standard Enthalpy change of solution of NaCl
Na+Cl- (s) + aq -> Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
How can Enthalpy change of solution be determined experimentally?
Weigh a sample of the ionic lattice and pour a set amount of water into the plastic cup in the beaker (measure temperature) ; quickly tip all KCl into the water and stir until fully dissolved and the temperature no longer changes
