Q

How is disorder measured?

A

JK-1mol-1
Symbol (S)
From a solid to aqueous ions= entropy is positive as there is more disorder
From gas to liquid= entropy is negative as less disorder

Q

What does it mean when a reaction is feasible?

A

Reaction can take place. Overall if Gibbs free is less than or equal to to 0 then reaction is feasible.

Q

What has zero entropy?

A

Only perfect crystals at absolute zero (T = 0 K) will have zero ∆S entropy.

Normally substances don’t have zero entropy.

Q

How does the size and charge of the ion affect the size of the lattice enthalpy of an ionic solid?

A

The smaller the ion and the higher its charge, the stronger the lattice

Q

How will a significant entropy change occur?

A

1) If there is a change of state from solid or liquid to gas
2) There is a significant increase in number of molecules between products and reactants.

Q

What happens to the feasiblity of a reaction when increasing entropy?

A

If the reaction involves an increase in entropy (∆S is +ve) then increasing temperature will make it more likely that ∆G is negative and more likely that the reaction occurs e.g. NaCl + aq Na+ (aq) + Cl - (aq)

Q

Example Q

Explain why the enthalpy of hydration becomes less exothermic from Li+ to K+

A

because the size of the ionic radius increases so the attraction between the outer electron and the nucleus decreases
so less energy is required

Q

Define standard enthalpy of combustion

A

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is burned completely in excess oxygen with all products and reactants in their standard states under standard conditions

17
Q

Define enthalpy of atomisation

A

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms are formed from the element in its standard state

18
Q

Define enthalpy of lattice formation

A

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its component gaseous ions

19
Q

Define enthalpy of lattice dissociation

A

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of ionic compound is (infinitely) separeted to form its constituent gaseous ions

20
Q

Why is the phrase ‘infinitely separated’ used of enthalpy of lattice dissociation ?

A

All bonding in the ions must be broken

21
Q

Which enthalpy changes are endothermic ?

5

A
  • Enthalpy of lattice dissociation
  • Enthalpy of atomisation
  • 1st/2nd Ionisation enthalpy
  • 2nd electron affinity
  • Bond dissociation enthalpy
22
Q

Which enthalpy changes are exothermic ?

2

A
  • 2nd electron affinity
  • Enthalpy of formation (mostly)
23
Q

What is the relationship between enthalpy of atomisation and bond dissociation enthalpy?

A

Enthalpy of atomisation produces 1 mole of gaseous atoms
Bond dissociation enthalpy produces 2 moles of gaseous atoms

BDE = EA X 2

24
Q

Define first electron affinity

A

The enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms gain 1 mole of electrons to form 1 mole of 1- ions

25
Why is the lattice enthalpy greater for smaller ions ?
Smaller ions are more closely packed in the lattice There is a stronger attraction
26
Why is the lattice enthalpy greater for ions with a high charge?
There is a stronger attraction
27
What does the perfect ionic model assume?
The bonding in the compound if 100% ionic The ions are perfect spheres/point charges and not distorted
28
Why do some compounds have covalent character? | 3
One of the ions is small and has a large charge This distorts the other ion The ions are not spherical
29
What happens when an ionic compound dissolves in water?
The ionic lattice breaks up (enthalpy of lattice dissociation) The polar water molecules form bonds with the ions (enthalpy of hydration)
30
Define enthalpy of hydration
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions is converted to 1 mole of aqueous ions
31
Why is the enthalpy of hydration exothermic ?
Energy is released when ions are attracted to the polar water molecules
