the enthalpy change when 1 mole of electrons is added to 1 mole gaseous 1- ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions under sc

29
Q

A

the distortion of the electron cloud of an anion by a neighbouring cation.
distortion greates when cation is small and highly charged

30
Q

A

the ability of a cation to attract the electron cloud of an anion and distort it

31
Q

ion-dipole bond

A

the bond formed between an ion and a polar compound such as water.

The negative end of the dipole with positive ion
positive end of dipole with negative ion

32
Q

electrolysis

A

the decomposition of an ionic compound when molten or in aqueous solution by an electric current

33
Q

nerst formula

A

E (under non sc) = E (under sc) + 0.059/z log[oxidised/reduced]
at ROOM TEMP 25
if not, then
E (under non sc) = E (under sc) + RT/zF log[oxidised/reduced]

oxidised Fe3+
reduced Fe2+
oxidised is the one thats ALREADY been oxidised
for metal/metal ion electrode
reduced is Metal,
conc of metal does not change so
E (under non sc) = E (under sc) + 0.059/z log[oxidised]
