Q

first IE definiition?

Q

2nd IE definition?

A

• Mg+ (g) - e- -> Mg2+ (g)
• The energy needed to remove 1e- from each ion in 1 mol of gaseous 1+ ions forming 1 mol of gaseous 2+ ion
• more endothermic than 1st IE - bc the p:e increases so the following e-s are more strongly attracted and so take more energy to remove

Q

Hess’s Law definition?

A

the enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken as long as it proceeds between the same initial reactant & final product.

Q

the first electron affinity definition?

A
  • exothermic
  • the energy released when each atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms gains an e- forming 1 mol of gaseous 1- ions
  • 0(g) + e- ➡ O- (g)

Q

The second electron affinity definition?

A

ΔEA2Hθ

  • The energy required to add 1 e- to each ion in 1 mol of gaseous 1- ions forming 2- ions
  • Endothermic - negatively charged ion repels the e-, so e required

O-(g) + e- ➡ O2-(g)

Q

Enthalpy change of hydration ?

A

• always exo - always about forming bonds between ions and H2O
• Energy released when 1 mol of gaseous ions is dissolved in water forming 1 mol of aq ions
• ΔhydHθ
Na+(g) ➡ (water on arrow) Na+ (aq)

20
Q

electron affinity and IE are?

21
Q

⭐ What are really important with born haber cycles?

A

the states

22
Q

summary of definitions?

A
  • If a number of moles is mentioned it is always 1 mole

* if a state is mentioned it is often the gaseous state or the standard state

23
Q

Born haber cycles ?

A

Hess’ cycles for the formatio of ionic compounds

24
Q

⭐ With equations, be careful because

A

could be 2 diff ones - e.g. atomisation and IE

25
How to draw a born haber cycle?
• try to get endo on the right and exo on the left
26
Always put LE as ? on BHC
exo
27
how to draw BHC for LE?
1) write equations 2) put enthalpy arrow 1) formation of the ionic compound 2) atomisation 3) atomisation (of other reactant) 4) first IE (MUST be before Ea - e- needed) 5) first Ea (could be multiple Ea/ IE)
28
After drawing the BHC, use ? to calc LE?
* Hess' Law | * change the sign when going against the arrow
29
Bonds mneunomic?
Breaking bonds is Endothermic Making bonds is E xothermic
30
forming the lattice is?
exothermic - making bonds
31
When explaining the differences in LE?
• look at what ion is diff 1) which is more exothermic (negative) 2) which ion attracts more strongly 3) which has the smaller IONIC radius, which has the higher charge density (same/larger charge spread over smaller ionic radius)
32
when answering a LE trend question?
order the substances, use comparative words
33
When answering a HE trend question?
1. which has the most exo value? 2. which forms the strongest electrostatic forces of attraction to the water molecule (not H bonds) 3. which has the highest charge density
34
across a period?
atomic radius ⬇ bc proton number increases
35
Dissolving an ionic solid involves 2 processes?
1. Breaking down the lattice into gaseous ions. This is the reverse of lattice enthalpy. This bond breaking. +ΔH 2. Hydration enthalpy - the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions are dissolved in water forming 1 mole of aqueous ions, under standard conditions. This is always bond forming, -ΔH
36
EoS equation?
endothermic LE (forming is exo) + exo HE
37
HE is always?>
exo
38
how to draw an energy level cycle for EoS?
1. enthalpy of solution 2. LE 3. Hydration
39
EoS can be ?
endo/exo
40
2 ways of working out EoS?
1. using cycle | 2. using equation
41
how to work out EoS from experimental data?
* q = mcdeltaT * delta H = q/n * ⭐ data must be of dissolving the solid
42
the more negative the enthalpy of solution...
the more soluble a substance
43
Which substances would you expect to be soluble in water?
the ones with an exo ΔH
44
enthalpy change of neutralisation is nearly always ?
around 57
45
enthalpy change of neutralisation - mass is?
vols of acid + base
46
When the products are have less enthalpy (Exo)
more stable, less reactive, more likely to form
47
endo products are?
less stable, more enthalpy, less likely to form
