5
Q

A
ionic bonds are formed
6
Q
is bond making exothermic or endothermic?
A
Bond making is exothermic
7
Q
Describe ionic bonding as you go down a group?
A
- down a group ionic radii increases (ions get bigger)
- so weaker electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions
- so weaker ionic bonding
8
Q
the ion is stronger if the..?
A
Charge on the ion increases
e.g Na+ > Mg2+ > Al3+
Aluminium has stronger ionic bonding because it has a smaller ionic radii. Al3+ has a greater charge/size ratio, so stronger electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, so stronger ionic bonding
9

A
the grater the charge, the stronger the ionic bonding
10
Q

A
- NaCl has stronger ionic bonds
- Na+ ions have a smaller ionic radii than K+ ions
- so stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between Na+ and Cl- ions
11
Q
Which ionic compounds have stronger ionic bonds MgO or MgCl2, explain why?
A
- MgO has stronger ionic bonding
- O2- ions have a greater negative charge than CL- ions
- so stronger electrostatic attraction between Mg2+ and O2- ions
12

15
Q

31
what is the definition for the Electron Affinity?
enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms each gain one electron
32

e.g Mg + ---> Mg 2+ (g) + e - 2nd I.E
38
Why does Ionisation energy decrease down a group?
- due to larger atomic radii
- so greater shielding
- so the outer electron is attracted less strongly by the nucleus
39
why does the Ionisation energy increase across a period?
- due to greater nuclear charge
- smaller atomic radii
- so outer electron is attracted more strongly by the nucleus
40
why is the 2nd IE greater than the 1st IE?
- smaller ionic radii

- (Ionic) charge / charge density
45

ver close (within 2%) of the theoretical lattice enthalpies, these compounds have virtually 100% ionic bonding (perfect ionic model)
46
The experimental Born Haber enthalpies for silver halides are..?
- about 15% greater
- so have stronger bonding than pure ionic bonding
- have ionic bonding with covalent character
47
what is a covalent character?
this means that negative ions are non-spherical/ distorted
48
State what the term covalent character means and explain why AL203 is ionic with a covalent character
a covalent character is:
- distorted/ non-spherical (negative O2- ions)
- caused by small highly charged Al3+ ion
- causes some sharing of electron density
49
Dissolving Ionic lattices
50
when a solid ionic substance dissolves in water which two things happen?
1. the bonds between the ions break (lattice dissociation enthalpy) - endothermic
2. Bonds between the ions and water are made (hydration enthalpy) - exothermic
51
why do the ions react with water?
the charges on the ion are attracted to the charges on the water molecule
52

- Na+ (g) ---> Na+ (aq)
- Cl- (g) ---> Cl- (aq)
57
Are ΔH°Hydration values exothermic or endothermic?
All ΔH° Hydration values are exothermic as hydration involves forming bonds with water
58
Explain why the standard enthalpy of Na+ is more negative than K+?
- Na+ has a smaller ionic radius, so greater electrostatic attraction between the Na+ and δ- on the polar water molecule
59
Explain why the ΔH°hydration for Mg2+ is more negative than Na+?
Mg2+ has geater nuclear charge (and a smaller ionic radius), so greater electrostatic forces of attraction between the Mg2+ and the δ− in the polar water molecule

using enthalpy cycle and
ΔH° solution = ΔH° solutionL.D + ΔH° solution Hydration
61

C2H4 (g) + H2O (g) ---> CH3CH2OH (g)
ΔH = -42kj mol-1
65
Why might the bond enthalpy values change slightly?
Because all values are mean bond enthalpies calculated from a range of compounds containing that bond
66
Entropy
67
what helps us understand why some reactions occur spontaneously?
the concept of entropy can help us understand why
68
What is entropy?
a measure of how much disorder there is
69
What do substances like, and what do particles do?
Substances like disorder and the particles move to try and increase entropy
70
what are three ways entropy can be increased?
- change in physical state
- dissolution
- number of particles
71
Why does Entropy increase when there is a change in state from a solid to a liquid and then a larger increase from a liquid to a gas?
- there is a large increase in entropy when a solid turns into a liquid
- Vibrating solid particles turn into randomly moving liquid particles, so there is a large increase in disorder
- Even larger increase in entropy at the boiling point as randomly moving liquid particles turn into choatically and randomly moving gas particles
72
The entropy of vaporisation...?
is greater than the entropy of melting
73
Describe why dissolving a solution increases the entropy?
- The particles become smaller
- The particles can move freely, they are not fixed in position
74
Why does entropy increase as the number of particles increase?
- more particles mean more entropy
- e.g 2O3 (g) --> 3O2 (g)
- the Right Hand Side contains more moles of gas than the Left Hand Side
75
What is the total entropy change?
the total entropy change is the sum of the entropy changes of the system and the surroundings
76
What is the equation used to calculate the total entropy change?
What are the units
ΔS total =ΔS system + ΔS surroundings
units: J K-1 Mol-1
77
How do we calculate the enthalpy of a system ΔS system?
ΔS products - ΔS reactants
78
How do we calculate the enthalpy of surroundings?
ΔS surroundings = -ΔH / T
ΔH = enthalpy change
T = temperature in Kelvins
79

Total entropy = + 7772.5 JK Mol-1
80
What is entropy?
entropy is a measure of how disordered a system is?
81
The higher the temperature, the..?
greater the disorder, so the greater the entropy of a substance
82
At 0 Kelvins, what is the entropy of all subatnces, and why?
At 0 kelvins, all substances have an entropy of zero, because all substances are in their most ordered arrangement
83
What are three general rules of entropy of a system?
ΔS system = ΔS products - ΔS reactants
1. if the ΔS system is large and positive - there is a large increase in entropy and disorder, often when there is more moles of gaseous product
2. If ΔS system is large and negative - then there is a large decrease in entropy and disorder, often when there is less moles of gaseous product
3. if S system is small and slightly positive or negative - there is little change in entropy and disorder, when there are equal moles of gaseous reactants and products
84
Describe entropy solid
Entropy and disorder increases
85
the larger and more complex the molecule and formula, the..?
Greater the entropy
86
Describe the entropy change for the following:
1. H2O (l) --> H2O (g)
2. H20 (g) --> H2O (l)
3. C (diamond) (s)----> C (graphite) (s)
4. C (s) + 1/2O2 (g) --> Co (g)
5. C (s) + O2 (g) --> CO2 (g)
6. CO (g) + 1/2 O2 --> CO2 (g)
1. More moles of gaseous product, so large and positive increase in entropy
2. less moles of gaseous product, so large and negative decrease in entropy
3. equal moles of gas on both sides of equation, so small increase in entropy. Value is very low as both graphite and diamond are very ordered solids
4. more moles of gaseous product, so large and positive increase in entropy
5. equal moles on both sides of the equation, so small increase in entropy
6. less moles of gaseous product, so large and negative decrease in entropy.

T = temperature in Kelvins
ΔS = enthalpy change of a system
91
For a reaction to be feasible, Gibbs free energy change must be?
ΔG ≤ 0
92
What does Feasible mean?
ΔG ≤ 0 but also means spontaneous, but even if a reaction is feasible the activation energy might be so high that the reaction rate is very slow, so you cannot observe it happening
93
Calculate ΔG for the following reaction: C (s) + O2 (g) ---> CO2 (g)
-350 KJ mol-1
94

x = T
c = -ΔH
96
Calculating the temperature a reaction becomes feasible?
- when ΔG = 0, a reaction is just feasible
- ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
- When ΔG = 0, ΔG/TΔS
- so T = ΔH/ ΔS
