Q

When are covalent molecules formed?

A

When the electrons shared between atoms result in a lower energy system than the atoms alone before bonding. This process is exoteric and has a negative enthalpy change.

Q

What is the standard molar enthalpy of combustions (

A

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions. It’s always negative since combustion is exothermic

Q

What is the standard molar enthalpy change of lattice formation? (

A

The comparable enthalpy value for ionic compounds.

Q

What are the two steps in the process of an ionic compound dissolving?

A

1) energy has to be supplied to break the lattice = endothermic
2) free ions become surrounded by water molecules. The formation of new bonds releases energy - solvation

Q

What is the enthalpy of hydration ? (DeltaHhyd)

A

The enthalpy change when one mole of individual gaseous ions is completely hydrated

Q

What is the standard molar enthalpy of sol of an ionic compound that involves lattice and hydration enthalpy steps given by?

A

DeltaHsoln = deltaHhyd - deltaHlatt
