Enthalpy Definitions Flashcards
Lattice enthalpy
The enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound is converted to gaseous ions.
Enthalpy of Atomisation
The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the element in its standard state.
Enthalpy of Formation
The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its element under standard conditions.
First electron afinity
The enthalpy change when one mole gaseous atoms are converted to gaseous ions with a single negative charge.
Enthalpy of solution
The enthalpy change when one mole of a solute dissolves in water.
Enthalpy of hydration
The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions is converted to one mole of aqueous ions.
Bond Dissociation
The energy required to break one mole of a specific bond.
