Lattice Enthalpy and entropy Flashcards
entropy (S)
a measure of the dispersal of energy in a system - the greater the entropy, the more disorded a system is
enthalpy (H)
a value which represents the heat content of a system
free energy change (AG)
AG = AH - TAS (a process is spontaneous/feasible when the AG is negative)
enthalpy change of atomisation
the enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from its element in its standard state
enthalpy change of formation
enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements
enthalpy change of hydration
enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions is dissolved in water, forming one mole of aqueous ions
enthalpy change of solution
enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is completely dissolved in water under standard conditions
first electron affinity
the enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 1- ions is formed from gaseous atoms
first ionisation energy
enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 1+ ions is formed from gaseous atoms
lattice enthalpy
enthalpy change when one mole of a solid ionic lattice is formed from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
s
second electron affinity
enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 2- ions is formed from one mole of gaseous 1- ions
second ionisation energy
enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous 2+ ions is formed from one mole of gaseous 1+ ions
spontaneous reaction
a reaction which can occur at the specified temperature without a constant input of energy
