Q

Charge on the ions

A

Higher charge on ion the stronger the ionic bond
Greater lattice Enthalpy
More energy given out in the formation of lattice
More energy needed to break apart the ionic lattice

Q

Size of the ions

A

Smaller the ion the stronger the attraction so stronger the ionic binding
So greater the lattice Enthalpy

16
Q

More negative lattice formation so

A

Stronger ionic bonds
In answers use CRAM
charge of the ions,radius of the ions,attraction between ions and more exothermic/endothermic

17
Q

Actual and theoretical value

A

If both values are close then indicates that the compound shows almost purely ionic bonding
If actual value is higher than theoretical value it’s because compound has some covalent character

18
Q

What is covalent character

A

+ve ion is quite small which quite a strong +ve charge
-ve ion is large with a diffuse electron cloud
+ve ion is strongly polarising
The electron cloud about the -ve ion becomes distorted
Some of the electron density is shared

19
Q

Perfect ionic model

A

Purely ionic bonding with no covalent character
Ions act as point charges
Ions act as perfect spheres which cannot be distorted

20
Q

Stages of Enthalpy of solution

A

1-lattice dissociation
2-hydration

21
Q

Enthalpy of solution calculation

A

> H Sol = >H LD + >H Hyd

22
Q

Why do chemical reactions take place

A

Reaction has to be feasible and spontaneous

23
Q

What determines if a reaction is feasible

A

Temperature
Enthalpy - most feasible reactions are exothermic
Entropy

24
Q

Entropy meaning

A

Entropy is a measure of disorder
Units are jk-1mol-1
Is disorder increases entropy is positive
Is disorder decreases entropy is negative
Entropy increases with change of state s-l-g
If mols of products are higher than mol of reactants increases entropy

25
Q

Calculating entropy change

A

Entropy change = (sum of entropy of products) - (sum of entropy of reactants)

26
Q

Gibbs free entropy change

A

Gibbs = Enthalpy change - temp x entropy change

27
Q

Gibbs and graphs

A

Y= Gibbs
X = t
M =- entropy change
Y intercept = Enthalpy change
