Q

what is a born-haber cycle?

A

start with the enthalpy of formation (elements in standard states –> ionic lattice)
then use enthalpy of atomisation and ionisation ( turn into gas, and turn diatomic molecules into monatomic e.g. Cl2 –> 2Cl then remove electrons)
use electron affinity (electron from ionisation added to other atom)
then lattice enthalpy of formation (turns gaseous ions into ionic lattice)

Q

what is the purely ionic model of a lattice?

A

it assumes that all ions are spherical, and have their charge evenly distributed around them

Q

what is experimental lattice enthalpy?

A

finding lattice enthalpy from experiments, the value is often different to theoretical because most ionic compounds have some covalent character

20
Q

what is covalent character?

A

the positive and negative ions in a lattice aren’t usually exactly spherical.
positive ions polarise neighbouring negative ions to different extents, the more polarisation, the more covalent the bonding

21
Q

what does it mean if a ionic compound has covalent character?

A

the bonding in the lattice is stronger than expected, because covalent bonds are stronger than ionic.
experimental enthalpy will be a lot higher than theoretical

22
Q

what happens when a solid ionic lattice dissolves?

A

bonds between ions break to give free ions - endothermic
bonds between ions and water are made - exothermic
enthalpy change of solution is the overall effect on the enthalpy of these

23
Q

why can water molecules bond to ions?

A

oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so it draws electrons towards itself, creating a dipole.
positive hydrogen can form bonds with negative ions
negative oxygen form bonds with positive ions

24
Q

when do substances dissolve?

A

substances generally only dissolve if the energy released is roughly the same, or greater than the energy taken in.
so soluble substances tend to have exothermic enthalpies in solution

25
how can you use Hess's law to work out enthalpy of solution?
solution - converts lattice to aqueous ions hydration - converts gaseous ions to aqueous ions lattice dissociation - converts gaseous ions into the lattice a triangle can be constructed ΔSOL = ΔHYD(+ve ion) + ΔHYD(-ve ion) - ΔLEFORM
26
how to tell if a substance is insoluble in water?
if the enthalpy of solution is positive and very big, so very endothermic, the substance is insoluble
27
what is entropy? (S)
a measure of the number of ways that particles can be arranged and the number of ways that the energy can be shared out between the particles the more disordered the particles, the higher the entropy
28
what factors affect entropy?
physical state affects entropy | more particles means more entropy
29
why does physical state affect entropy?
solid particles vibrate about a fixed point - not much disorder - low entropy gas particles move fast wherever they want - most disorder - highest entropy
30
why do more particles mean more entropy?
the more particles, the more ways their energy can be arranged
31
what makes a reaction feasible?
substances tend to disorder because it makes them more energetically stable, so they move to increase their entropy, this means an endothermic reaction can happen without energy
32
how to calculate entropy change?
entropy of products - entropy of reactants
33
what is the standard entropy of a substance?
the entropy of 1 mole of that substance under standard conditions
34
what does it mean if total entropy of a reaction increases?
it is feasible for the reaction to occur, but it is not guaranteed
35
what is free energy change?
a measure used to predict whether a reaction is feasible
36
what is ΔG when a reaction is feasible?
when ΔG ≤ 0 | then a reaction is feasible
37
what is the equation for Gibbs free energy change?
``` ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ΔH = enthalpy change (kJ/mol) ΔS = entropy change (J/mol/K)/1000 --> (kJ/mol/K) T = temperature in kelvins must all have same units so ΔS / 1000 ```
38
when is a reaction always feasible?
when the reaction is exothermic and has a positive entropy change
39
when is a reaction never feasible?
when the reaction is endothermic and has a negative entropy change
40
how to calculate the temperature that a reaction becomes feasible?
when ΔG is 0 a reaction becomes feasible so when T = ΔH/ΔS the reaction becomes feasible
41
what do the direction of the arrows show in the Born Haber cycle?
the direction of energy, if its pointing up its endothermic | down means exothermic
42
what happens if there is a 2- ion in a born Haber cycle?
the 1st electron affinity will go below the equation of the gaseous ions then back up in the second electron affinity 1st is exothermic 2nd is endothermic - repulsion between electron and negative ion means 2nd Ea requires energy to add the electron
43
how to know which ionic bond is stronger?
the bigger the ions, the weaker the ionic bonds the higher the charge, the stronger the bond charge takes priority over size
44
what does the graph of entropy by temperature look like?
as temperature increases, entropy increases when a change of state happens, entropy increases dramatically (vertical line), this change is bigger going from liquid to gas then solid to liquid
45
when does a change of state become feasible?
ΔG = 0 | this is when a substance melts or boils
46
How are diatomic molecules treated differently in born-Haber cycles?
The atomisation energy is needed twice e.g. to turn Br2 into 2 Br They will also need 2x ionisation energy or 2x electron affinity
