Energetics II Flashcards
Define Lattice Energy
This is the energy change when one mole of an ionic solid is formed from its gaseous ions
The more negative the lattice energy the ……….. the bonding
The more negative the lattice energy the ..Stronger.. the bonding
What is enthalpy change of formation
When 1 mole of the compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions (298K and
100kpa) with all reactants and products being in their standard states
Define Enthalpy of atomization
When 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the element in its standard state
Na (s) —–> Na(g) [Delta at H = +148 kJ mol^-1]
What is first ionisation enthalpy
This is the enthalpy change required to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous ions with a +1 charge under standard conditions
Mg (g) —–> Mg^+ (g) + e
What is Lattice Enthalpy ?
It is the sum of the energy needed to break the bonds within the crystal lattice and the energy released when the ions come together to form the lattice.
Enthalpy of hydration
when 1 mole of GASEOUS ions becomes hydrated or dissolves in water
X^+(G) + aq —-> X^+ (aq)
Enthalpy of lattice formation
is the standard enthalpy change when
1 mole of an ionic crystal lattice is formed
from its constituent ions in gaseous form.
enthalpy change of solution
This is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of SOLUTE dissolves in water.
What is first electron Affinity
This is the enthalpy change that occurs when
1 mole of gaseous atoms gain 1 mole of electrons to form 1 mole of gaseous ions with a
–1 charge
eg . O(g) + e^- —-> O^-(g)
What is Second Electron Affinity
This is the enthalpy change that occurs when 1 mole of gaseous ions with -1 charge forms a gaseous ion with a -2 charge
Why is first electron affinity exothermic (negative delta H ) but second and third electron affinity is endothermic?
This is because the nucleus initially attracts electrons hence energy is released when an electron is added to it, however after then it requires energy (endothermic) to overcome repulsive force between the negative ion formed and the electron
What is the difference between enthalpy change of hydration and solution
Hydration is when 1 mole of GASEOUS ions dissolve in water while
Solution is when 1 mole of SOLUTE dissolves in water
Why is hydration exothermic ?
Because energy is being given out as water molecules form bonds with the ions that is the delta negative oxygen with positive ions and delta positive hydrogen with negative ions
Formula for enthalpy change of solution
-lattice energy + hydration enthalpy
Why is the theoretical value of the perfect ionic model less that the actual calculated value
Because it assumes that that the compound is made of 100% ionic bonds therefore there no covalent bonding letting it have a smaller value and weaker bond but because most ionic compounds have a covalent property the bonds are stronger and hence larger
The longer the atomic radii
the lower the melting point

TREND IN LATTICE ENERGY BASED ON SIZE OF IONS
As you go down the group of a group 2 halide what do we notice in terms of covalency (they are ionic compounds)
As we go down the group it would become more covalent because :
- It is more highly distorted
- Electrons are further away from the nucleus hence there’s more shielding hence there’s more covalency in MgI2 compared to MgF2 which is more ionic
