Q

What is the song to remember Born-Haber cycles?

A

Atomisation of the metal, Atomisation of the non-metal, Ionisation of the metal, Electron affinity, Lattice Enthalpy. (Generally used to find the standard enthalpy change of formation).

17
Q

What is polarisation?

A

The distortion of the energy cloud in a molecule or ion by a nearby positive charge.

18
Q

What is polarising power?

A

The ability of a positive ion (cation) to distort the electron cloud of a neighbouring negative ion (anion).

19
Q

What is polarisability?

A

An indication of the extent to which the electron cloud in a molecule or an ion can be distorted by a nearby electric charge.

20
Q

What factors affect lattice enthalpy?

A

Ionic Radius - Larger ions result in a weaker lattice and therefore a weaker lattice enthalpy.

Ionic Charge - Higher ion charge results in a strong attraction between ions and therefore a stronger lattice enthalpy.

21
Q

What are the entropy equations?

A

ΔS (system) = Products - Reactants

ΔS (surroundings) = - ΔH / T

ΔS (total) = ΔS (systems) + ΔS (surroundings)
or
ΔS = R ln K

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS(system)
or
ΔG = -RT ln K

22
Q

What does the term feasible mean?

A

This describes if a reaction can naturally occur (ignoring the activation energy that may be required).

23
Q

How do you know if a reaction is feasible?

A

If the ΔS (total) is positive the reaction is feasible.

If the ΔG is negative the reaction is feasible.

24
Q

What is the standard molar entropy?

A

The entropy per mole for a substance under standard conditions. (S)

25
Q

When is the only time that the entropy is 0 JK⁻¹mol⁻¹ ?

A

The entropy is 0 JK⁻¹mol⁻¹ in a perfectly ordered crystal at 0K.

26
Q

What predictions for ΔS (system) can be made by looking at the reaction equation?

A
  • If a gas is formed from non-gaseous reactants, entropy will increase.
  • If a gas reacts and a gas is not produced, entropy will decrease.
27
Q

What predictions for ΔS (surroundings) can be made by looking at the reaction equation?

A
  • For exothermic reactions, entropy always increases.
  • For endothermic reactions, entropy always decreases.
  • The magnitude of the entropy depends on the temperature of the surroundings and enthalpy change.
28
Q

How can the temperature that a feasible reaction can occur at be calculated?

A

Rearranging the ΔG equation (when ΔG = 0 ) gives:
T = ΔH / ΔS (system)
Then simply insert the values to work out the temperature.

29
Q

What is free energy change?

A

The thermochemical quantity used by chemists to decide whether a reaction tends to occur and how far it will go. ΔG is the test for the feasibility of a reaction.

30
Q

What does thermodynamically stable mean?

A

A chemical or mixture of chemicals is thermodynamically stable if there is no tendency for the reaction. Therefore, there will be a positive ΔG indicating that it doesn’t occur.

31
Q

What does kinetically inert mean?

A

A chemical or mixture of chemicals is kinetically inert when a reaction does not occur even though it is feasible.
