Q

Why is first electron affinity exothermic for atoms that normally form 1- ions (group 7 for instance)

A

The ion is more stable than the atom
There is an attraction between the nucleus and the electron

Q

What’s always at the bottom row of a born haber cycle?

A

The solid compound

17
Q

What’s always at the top row of a Born Haber cycle?

A

positive ions, electrons and gaseous atoms (which turn into negative ions next)

18
Q

ΔatH(Cl2) is the same thing as…

A

the mean bond energy for Cl2

19
Q

Explain 2 trends in lattice enthalpies

A

ion size: the larger the ions, the less -ve the ΔlatformH will be, the weaker the lattice will be

ion charge: the bigger the charge, the greater the attraction so the stronger the lattice enthalpy (more -ve values)

20
Q

Perfect ionic model

A

assumed by theoretical lattice enthalpies
ions are 100% spherical and ionic
attractions are purely electrostatic

21
Q

What 4 things cause covalent character?

A

Small +ve ion
multiple +ve charges on +ve ion
large -ve ion
multiple -ve charges on -ve ion

22
Q

The more ________ the bigger the difference between the theoretical and born haber lattice enthalpies

A

covalent character

23
Q

Why would the born haber value be larger than the theoretical value for a compound?

A

if it has some covalent character
it tends towards giant covalent structure
lattice + is stronger than if it was 100% ionic

24
Q

What is different in the shapes of purely ionic ions and ions with covalent character?

A

purely ionic- 100% spherical
covalent character- electron charge cloud is distorted

25
Substances with more ways of arranging their atoms and energy (more disordered) have a higher/lower entropy?
higher
26
Why do solids have lower entropies than gases?
as the solid increases in temperature its entropy increases as particles vibrate more gases move around even more--> more disordered
27
At 0K substances have ______ entropy and the reason why
0 no disorder particles are stationary
28
When do significant increases in entropy occur?
change of state from s to l to g increase in no of molecules from r to p
29
entropy unit
JK−1mol−1
30
ΔS =
Sprod - Sreact
31
Gibbs free energy purpose
combines effect of entropy and enthalpy into 1 number
32
ΔG=
ΔH-TΔS ALWAYS USE S/1000
33
ΔG units
KJmol-1
34
ΔG has to be ____ve for a reaction to occur
-
35
What is ΔG for melting/boiling? Why?
0 physical phase changes are equillibria
36
If the reaction involves an increase in entropy what does increasing temperature do to ΔG?
makes it more likely that ΔG is negative and the reaction occurs
37
If the reaction involves a decrease in entropy what would an increase in temperature do to ΔG
Less likely that ΔG is negative and the reaction is less likely to occur
38
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS as a graph's y, m, x and c values
ΔG as y T as x ΔH as c -ΔS as m
39
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS positive gradient means
ΔS is negative
