thermodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
Why does a smaller or more highly charged ion have a more exothermic enthalpy of hydration
A
Smaller has higher charge density
Stronger electrostatic attraction to lone pair on O in water
Stronger bonds
2
Q
What is 🔺️H on a graph
A
Y intercept
3
Q
What is 🔺️S on a graph
A
Gradient = - 🔺️S
x1000
To convert back
(So if slope down its a negative gradient meaning S is positive )
4
Q
What is the equation for 🔺️S or 🔺️H
A
sum of products - sum of reactants
5
Q
What is enthalpy change
A
Heat energy change at a constant pressure
