Q

Hess’s law?

A

The enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken
A —> B = A—>C—>B

17
Q

enthalpy of formation hess law

A

elements enthalpy of formation always 0
arrows pointing up from constituent elements
sum of product enthalpy - sum of reactant enthalpy

18
Q

enthalpy of combustion hess law

A

arrows pointing down to oxides
reaction across top often enthalpy of formation

19
Q

bond enthalpy hess law

A

arrows pointing down to gas atoms
bond enthalpies are mean not specific for compound so not very accurate

20
Q

equation for enthalpy change and conversion to kJ/mol
(calorimetry)

A

q = mcAt
q: heat energy given out (J)
m: mass of substance heated (g)
AT: temperature rise (K)
c: specific heat capacity (J/g/K)
Then
/1000 for kJ
Finally
enthalpy change/mol = q/number of moles reacting

21
Q

problems with calorimetry calculations + solution

A

heat loss major problem - to reduce you can measure heat capacity of calorimeter as a whole

22
Q

enthalpy of solution hess cycle

A

gas ions —-> ionic solid (lattice enthalpy formation)
gas ions —-> dissolved (aq) ions (hydration enthalpy)

arrows pointing down from gas ions to

ionic solid ——-> dissolved (aq) ions (enthalpy of solution)

23
Q

trend in lattice enthalpy in regards to ionic bonding

A

greater magnitude of lattice enthalpy, greater ionic bonding and vice versa
compounds with smaller ion and/or greater charge have stronger attraction so greater lattice enthalpy

24
Q

how to find experimental lattice enthalpy?

A

born-haber cycle

25
Q

what is perfect ionic model?

A

theoretical calculation for lattice enthalpy that considers size, charge and arrangement of ions in lattice - assumes structure is perfectly ionic

26
Q

problem with perfect ionic model

A

often distortion of ions in ionic compound (not perfectly spherical) - they have covalent character
bigger difference between theoretical and real value in general, the greater the covalent character
still ionic bonding but some covalent properties such as low solubility, lower melting point/conductivity than expected

27
Q

entropy

A

Entropy (S) is how disordered something is and is measured in J/mol/K
Gases have most entropy
Entropy will naturally increase over time

28
Q

entropy

A

Entropy (S) is how disordered something is and is measured in J/mol/K
Gases have most entropy
Entropy will naturally increase over time

29
Q

how does entropy vary with temperature?

A

Zero at absolute zero and increases with temperature
Big increases in entropy at state changes - greatest from liquid to gas as entropy substantially larger in gases than solids or liquids

30
Q

entropy change

A

change in S = [sum S products] - [sum S reactants]
reactions with increase in entropy are favourable
sometimes very small change so unable to tell if it will be positive or negative

31
Q

Gibbs free energy change

A

change in G combines change in H and change in S
AG (kJ/mol) = AH (kJ/mol) - T (K) AS (J/mol/K)
need to convert AS to kJ/mol/K
Feasible reaction if AG less than or equal to 0
Depends on temperature if feasible or not
AG = 0 is the point at which reaction becomes feasible
If feasible still may not occur due to having very high activation energy
