Lattice enthalpy Flashcards
What is lattice enthalpy?
The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic lattice compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
What is lattice enthalpy a measure of?
Strength of ionic bonding in a giant ionic lattice
What type of enthalpy change is lattice enthalpy always?
Exothermic - it always has a negative value
What is a Born-Haber cycle?
An energy cycle used to determine lattice enthalpy
What is standard enthalpy change of atomisation?
The enthalpy change that takes place for the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from the element in the standard state, under standard conditions
What is first ionisation energy?
The enthalpy change required to remove one electron from each atom in mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous +1 ions
Are ionisation energies endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic
What is the first electron affinity?
The enthalpy change that takes place when one electron is added to each atom in mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1- ions
Are first electron affinities exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic
What is required if an anion has a greater charge than -1, such as O 2-?
Successive electron affinities are required
Are second electron affinities endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic
What is the Born-Haber cycle for magnesium oxide?
What are the calculations you’d for the magnesium oxides Born-Haber cycle?
Why may enthalpy values need to be halved or doubled in lattice enthalpy calculations?
Depending on the moles of elements in the ionic solid involved
What is enthalpy change of solution?
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of an ionic substance dissolves in sufficient water to form an infinitely dilute solution
