Topic 5/15 Flashcards
Standard enthalpy of formation, which equation do you choose?
Has to make ONE mole of product so coefficent should be one
Limitations of calorimetry
Heat loss to surroundings,
Assumes mass and specific heat capacity of aqueous solutions are equal to that of water, but valid because these values for water used are higher than most other substances
Density of solution is 1.00g
Specific heat capacity is 4.18, that of pure water
Reaction goes to complettion
Reactants do not react with other substances
Why is cycle significant for ozone vs oxygen destruction?
Ozone weaker so breaks easier, oxygen requires more energy to break so absorbs more of the harmful uv light (242nm)
Ozone abosrbs lower frequency, longer wavelength of light
Only the shorter wavelength which is less damaging radiation reaches the earth’s surface
Define lattice enthalpy
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of ionic lattice dissolve sri form gaseous ions
MX (s) = M+ (g) + X- (g)
How to calculate enthalpy changes for the dissolution of solids?
enthalpy change of solution
Enthalpy change of solution = (enthalpy change of hydration for each ion) + (lattice enthalpy)
What sign is teh enthalpy of solution for a soluable solution
Negative or slightly positive
enthalpy of solution needs to be exo
How to determine if reaction is spontaenous with delta s and h
Construct graph and top left spon, top right, spon with high temps, bottom left spon with low temp, and bottom right always non
Equation for enthalpy of solution
Enthalpy of solution = enthalpies of hydration + lattice enthalpy
Equation for lattice enthalpy
MX(s) = M+ (g) + X- (g)
Specific heat capacity definition
Amount of heat absorbed when material increases by one degree
With equal masses and energy absorbed, which substance’s temperature increases by less?
The one with higher heat capacity because it takes more energy to increase the heat
Enthalpy of products increase or decrease for endothermic
Increases because absorbed heat
Define enthalpy of formation
Enthapy change when on emole of compound formed from elements in standard states (likely solid)
Equations for enthalpy of formation
Hf = Hf (products) - HF reactants
Hf = Hc (reactants) - Hc (products)
Equations for enthalpy of combustion
Hc = Hc (reactatnts) - Hc (products)
Hc = Hf (products) - Hf (reactants
