Q

For gaseous diatomic elements like Cl2/F2, what is the relationship between bond dissociation and atomisation, and the exception?

A

enthalpy of bond dissociation = 1/2 enthalpy of atomisation

NOT TRUE FOR Br2 and I2 as they are NOT gaseous at room temp

Q

What is the lattice dissociation enthalpy?

A

enthalpy change when one mole of ionic lattice is converted into its gaseous ions

17
Q

The more positive the lattice dissociation enthalpy, the….

A

stronger the ionic bonds

18
Q

The more negative the lattice formation enthalpy….

A

stronger the ionic bonds

19
Q

What is a Born-Haber cycle?

A

a closed loop of enthalpy changes, that include lattice enthalpy

20
Q

When trying to figure out x in a Born-Haber cycle, which direction do you go?

21
Q

Why are lattice enthalpies of dissociation always endothermic?

A

strong electrostatic bonds between opppositely charged ions are being broken

22
Q

What is the perfect ionic model?

A

-ions are perfectly spherical
-only ionic bonding is present

23
Q

What are two properties of ions that influence the value of a lattice enthalpy using a perfect ionic model?

A

charge and size of ion

24
Q

What is the enthalpy of solution?

A

enthalpy change when one mole of a solid dissolves completely in excess water to form an aqueous solution

25
What is the enthalpy of hydration?
enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions is converted into aqeuous ions
26
Why are enthalpies of hydration very negative and large?
making strong bonds/making strong ion-dipole interactions between ion and polar water molecules
27
How do you calculate the enthalpy of solution?
ΔHsol = ΔHlattice dissociation + ΣΔH hydration
28
Why is the theoretical ΔH L.E less than ΔH L.E experimental?
-due to _____ having ionic bonding with covalent character
29
Why do silver halides/Ag+/Al3+ have covalent character?
the ions are not spherical, there is a higher charge on positive ion and a smaller radius, which polarises/distorts the negative ions more greatly
30
Why is the theoretical ΔH L.E around the same as ΔH L.E experimental for group 1 halides?
group 1 halides have ionic bonding only and all ions are spherical
