what is the definition of enthalpy change of formation?
the energy change when one mole of a substance if formed from its elements in their standard states
what is the definition of enthalpy change of atomisation?
the energy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from an element in its standard state
what is the definition of electron affinity?
the energy change when each atom in one mole of atoms in the gaseous state gains an e-
what is the definition of ionisation energy?
the energy required to remove one e- from an atom in the gaseous state
what is the definition of enthalpy change of standard lattice?
the energy change when one mole of an ionic solid if formed from its gaseous ions
what does the born haber cycle show?
shows the enthalpy change needed to form one mole of ionic solid from atoms of elements in standard state
what are the factors affecting magnitude of lattice energy and explain why they affect LE?
- size of charge
inc ionic charge, inc lattice energy
-inc charge density
-inc electrostatic force of attraction
-so more energy is released (lattice energy value is more exothermic/ negative)
- size of ion
inc size of ion means greater ionic radius
distance between nuclei inc
attraction dec
less lattice energy released (value is less exothermic)
- number of cation to anion interactions
the more interactions per molecule, the greater the lattice energy
more exothermic
why is there a difference between experimental and theoretical lattice energy of an ionic compound?
theoretical lattice energy assumes that there is 100% ionic bonding
experimental values suggest that bonding within an ionic lattice isnt purely ionic
difference between theoretical and experimental lattice energies tells you the extent of covalent character in an ionic compound
what is lattice energy of dissociation?
ionic compound is broken up when water is added- lattice energy of dissociation
endothermic- bond breaking
lattice dissociation enthalpy isthe enthalpy change needed to convert 1 mole of solid crystal into its scattered gaseous ions
what is enthalpy of hydration?
water is attracted to ions- enthalpy of hydration
the amount of energy released on dilution of one mole of gaseous ions
what is the effect of ion size of enthalpy of hydration?
- inc charge, inc charge density
water molecules more attracted
- inc enthalpy of hydration
- same charge ion→ smaller ion
smaller ionic radius, higher charge density
what does it mean when a reaction is spontaneous?
when a reaction is spontaneous total entropy is greater than 0
what does it mean when something has a positive entropy value?
Reaction is feasible
when does entropy increase?
water evaporation l → g
-solid dissolving s → l as ions can move in any direction
-gases mixing through the air (diffusion)
what two factors govern the feasibility of a reaction?
- enthalpy change which should be negative (a negative value indicates an exothermic reaction)
- the entropy change (ΔS) which should be positive for the reaction to be spontaneous
how do you convert from celcius to kelvin?
C → K you add 273 to C
how do you work out entropy change of the system?
sum of entropy of products - sum of entropy of reactants
how do you work out entropy of the surroundings?
-(change in enthalpy/ temp (in kelvin))
