enthalpy and entropy chp 22 Flashcards
what is lattice enthalpy
the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under stand conditions
what type of reaction is lattice enthalpy and what does this mean for lattice enthalpy values
- it is an exothermic change
- the value for the enthalpy change will always be negative
what is needed to determine lattice enthalpy
- it cannot be measured directly
- you must use a Born-Hater cycle to determine it
what is the standard enthalpy change of atomisation
- ΔatH
- the enthalpy change that takes place for the formation of 1 mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard state under standard conditions
what type of value will ΔatH always give and why is that
- it is always an endothermic process
- ^because bonds are broken to form gaseous ions
what is the first ionisation energy
- ΔieH
- the enthalpy change required to remove one electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
what type of value will the ionisation energies also result in and why is this
ionisation energies are endothermic because energy is required to overcome the attraction between a negative electron and the positive nucleus
what is meant by electron affinity
- it is the opposite of ionisation energy
- electron affinity measures the energy to gain electrons
what is the first electron affinity in terms of enthalpy
what is it symbol
- ΔeaH
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 electron is added to each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to from 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions
what type of value does first electron affinity always give and why is this
- gives exothermic values
^because the electron being added is attracted in towards the nucleus
what type of value does second electron affinity always give and why is this
- 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 like charges of the electron and the ion together
what is the standard enthalpy change of solution
- ΔsolH
- the enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a solute dissolves in a solvent
what 2 processes occurs when a solid ionic compound dissolves in water
- the ionic lattice breaks up
- water molecules are attracted to, and surround, the ions
what 2 types of energy change are involved during a solid ionic compound dissolving in water
- ionic lattice is broken up forming separate gaseous ions (opposite energy change from lattice energy)
- separate gaseous ions interact with polar water molecules to form hydrated aqueous ions (enthalpy change of hydration)
what is the enthalpy change of hydration
whats its symbol
- Δhyd H
- enthalpy change that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form 1 mole of aqueous ions
what are the general properties of ionic compounds
- high melting and boiling points
- soluble in polar solvents
- conduct electricity when molten or when aqueous
