Q

Why are theoretical lattice enthalpies often different from experimental values?

A

They asume a purely ionic model, where all ions are spherical. This doesn’t account for covalent character, where ions aren’t all spherical.

Q

What happens when you dissolve a substance in water?

A

The bonds between the ions break - endothermic
Bonds between ions and water are made - exothermic
Enthalpy of solution is the overall effect of these 2 changes

17
Q

What enthalpies do you use to calculate enthalpy of solution?

A

Lattice dissociation and enthalpy of hydration

18
Q

What is Entropy?

A

A measure of how disordered something is.
More directly, a measure of how many possible ways the particles can be arranged.

19
Q

Which state has highest entropy?

A

Gas

20
Q

What is the effect of an increased number of particles on entropy?

A

Entropy increases

21
Q

What is the effect of higher entropy in stability?

A

More stable

22
Q

How do you calculate entropy change for a reaction?

A

Entropy of products - entropy of reactants

23
Q

How do you measure the feasability of a reaction?

A

Gibbs Free Energy must be negative or 0.

24
Q

What is Gibbs Free energy?

A

ΔG = ΔH -TΔS
(temperature in kelvin)

25
Q

How do you find the temperature when a reaction is just feasible?

A

T = ΔH/ΔS
(rearrangement of ΔG formula)
