Q

Why does water dissolve sodium chloride?

A

Sodium chloride forms a giant ionic lattice with the Na+ ion and Cl- ion
Water consists of the H+ ion and the O2- ion
The oxygen is attracted to the sodium atom and the hydrogen is attracted to the chlorine atom
The ionic lattice becomes surrounded with water and breaks down

Q

When using q=mcΔt, what is important to remember about mass?

A

It must be the mass of both the solution and the solute

20
Q

What is the enthalpy change of hydration?

A

The enthalpy change that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form one mole of aqueous ions

21
Q

Describe the dissolving process

A

The ionic lattice breaks up to form separate gaseous ions

The separate ions interact with the water molecules to form hydrate aqueous ions

22
Q

What characteristics do ionic compounds tend to have?

A

High melting and boiling points
Soluble in polar solvents
Conduct electricity when molten or in solution

23
Q

What are the two factors affecting lattice enthalpy?

A

Ionic charge and ionic size

24
Q

What is the effect of ionic size on lattice enthalpy?

A

The ionic radius increases
The attraction between oppositely charged ions decreases
The lattice enthalpy is less negative
The melting point decreases

25
Q

What is the effect of ionic charge on lattice enthalpy?

A

Ionic charge increases
Attraction between ions increases
Lattice enthalpy becomes more negative
Melting point increases

26
Q

If a lattice enthalpy is very exothermic, what does this indicate about the melting point?

A

The melting point will be very high

27
Q

What is the effect of ionic size on hydration enthalpy?

A

Ionic radius increases
The attraction between ion and water molecule decreases
The hydration enthalpy is less negative

28
Q

What is the effect of ionic charge on hydration enthalpy?

A

Ionic charge increases
Attraction with the water molecules increase
The hydration enthalpy is more negative

29
Q

When will a compound dissolve?

A

When the sum of the hydration enthalpies is larger than the lattice enthalpy and the reaction is exothermic

30
Q

What does a high entropy value indicate?

A

High disorder and randomness

31
Q

What is entropy?

A

The dispersal of energy within the chemicals making up a chemical system

32
Q

What are the units of entropy?

A

J K-1 mol-1

33
Q

Which state has the highest and lowest entropy values?

A 
Highest = gases
Lowest = solids
34
Q

If a chemical system changes to become more random, what happens to the value of the entropy?

A

It increases

35
Q

When there is a decrease in the number of gaseous molecules, hat happens to the entropy value and why?

A

It is negative - there is a decrease in the randomness of particles and the energy is less spread out

36
Q

What is standard entropy?

A

The entropy of one mole of a substance under standard conditions

37
Q

Will standard entropies always be positive or negative?

A

Positive

38
Q

How do you calculate the entropy change?

A

(Entropy of products) - (entropy of reactants)

39
Q

What does feasibility mean?

A

If a reaction is able to happen

40
Q

What are the two types of energy making up free energy?

A

Enthalpy change and entropy change

41
Q

What is the Gibbs’ equation?

A

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

42
Q

For a reaction to be feasible, what must the result of Gibbs’ equation be?

A

ΔG < 0

43
Q

What is important to remember about ΔS when using Gibbs’ equation?

A

Must divide by 1,000 to be in kJ

44
Q

How do you calculate the minimum temperature for feasibility?

A

Set Gibbs’ equation equal to 0

45
Q

What is the main limitation of Gibbs’ free energy equation?

A

ΔG may show that a reaction is feasible but doesn’t take into account kinetics or the rate of reaction
