31
Q

Why aren’t the theoretical values correct?

A

Ionic compounds usually have some covalent charactiers.

32
Q

What is meant by covalent characters?

A

The positive and negative ions in a lattice aren’t usally spherical. Positive ions polarise neighbouring negative ions to different extents. The more polarisation there is the more covalent the bond will be.

33
Q

If the experimental and theoretical lattice enthalpies for a compound are very different what does this show you?

A

The compound has a lot of covalent character.

34
Q

If experimental and theoretical lattice enthalpies for a compound are very similar what does this show you?

A

The compound has very little covalent character.

35
Q

What two things happen when a solid lattice dissolves in water?

A
  1. The bonds between the ions break. 2. Then the bonds between the ions and water are made.
36
Q

Why can water form bonds with ions?

A

Oxygen is a lot more electronegative than hydrogen so it draws the bonding pair of electrons towards itself creating a dipole. Positive ions can form weak bonds with the partial negative charge on the oxygen. Negative ions can form weak bonds with the partial positive charge on the hydrogen ions.

37
Q

What type of diagram can you use to find the enthalpy change of solution?

A

An enthalpy cycle

38
Q

What indirect route can you do to find the enthalpy change of solution?

A

Lattice disassociation enthalpy + enthalpy hydration of + ion + enthalphy hydration of - ion.

39
Q

What formula relates energy and enthalpy change?

A

Enthalpy change reaction = total energy absorbed - total energy released.

40
Q

What is another way to write Enthalpy change reaction = total energy absorbed - total energy released.

A

Enthalpy change reaction - total enthalpies or bonds broken - total enthalpies of bonds formed.

41
Q

What is mean bond enthalpy?

A

The energy required to break 1 mol of a given covalent bond averaged over a range of compounds.

42
Q

Why are mean bond enthalpies never perfectly accurate?

A

it is only an average for a given type of bond in many different compounds and in various places within the compound.

43
Q

What does entropy show you?

A

How much disorder there is.

44
Q

What two things is entropy a measure of?

A

The number of ways that particles can be arranged and the number of ways that energy can be shared out between the particles.

45
Q

What symbol represents entropy?

A

S

46
Q

What are the three main things that affect entropy?

A

Physical state, dissolution and the number of particles.

47
Q

How does physical state affect entropy?

A

Gas particles whizz around anywhere they like so they have the most random arrangement of particles so they have the highest entropy, solid particles just wobble about a fixed point so there isn’t much randomness so they have the lowest entropy.

48
Q

What does dissolution involve?

A

Dissolving a solid.

49
Q

How does dissolution affect entropy?

A

Dissolving a solid increases it’s entropy as the dissolved particles can move more freely increasing the number of ways the particles and their energy can be arranged.

50
Q

How does the number of particles affect entropy?

A

More particles mean more entropy, the more particles you have the more ways they and their energy can be arranged.

51
Q

What is a spontaneous change?

A

What that happens by itself, you don’t need to give it energy.

52
Q

What is another name for a spontaneous change?

A

A feasible change.

53
Q

Even though you have to supply energy for an endothermic reaction why are they sometimes spontaneous?

A

In some reactions the entropy increases such a lot that the reaction will happen by itself without you supplying energy.

54
Q

Name two spontaneous endothermic reactions.

A

1, Evaporation of water. 2. The reaction of sodium hydrogen carbonate with hydrochloric acid.

55
Q

Why is evaporation of water spontaneous?

A

You are going from a liquid to a gas so the entropy increases.

56
Q

Why is the reaction between sodium hydrogen carbonate with hydrochloric acid spontaneous?

A

There are more particles in the products and CO2 is evolved which is a gas further increasing entropy.

57
Q

For reactions to happen does entropy change have to be negative of positive?

A

Positive.

58
Q

What two entropy changes are there during a reaction?

A

An entropy change between the reactants and products and an entropy change of the surroundings.

59
Q

What is the entropy change of the system?

A

Entropy change between the reactants and the products.

60
Q

ΔStotal =?

A

ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings

61
Q

ΔSsystem = ?

A

Sproducts - Sreactants

62
Q

ΔSsurroundings = ?

A
63
Q

What are the units for ΔS?

A

JK-1mole -1

64
Q

What is the symbol for free energy change?

A

ΔG

65
Q

What is ΔG used to measure?

A

To predict whether a reaction is feasible.

66
Q

What does ΔG have to be for a reaction to be feasible?

A

Less than or equal to 0

67
Q

What does ΔG take account of?

A

The changes in enthalpy and entropy in a system

68
Q

ΔG = ?

A

ΔH-TΔS

69
Q

What are the units for ΔG and ΔH?

A

Jmole-1

70
Q

Why might a reaction not always happen even though ΔG is -?

A

The reaction might have a really high activation energy or be so slow that you wouldn’t notice it happening at all.

71
Q

What values of ΔH and ΔS will always be feasible at any temperature and why?

A

-ΔH and +ΔS, because ΔG will always be -

72
Q

What values of ΔH and ΔS will not be feasible at any temperature and why?

A

+ΔH and -ΔS, because ΔG will always be +

73
Q

What are the two values ΔH and ΔS which means a reaction is sometimes feasible and why?

A
  1. +ΔH and +ΔS then ΔG will be - for higher temperatures and so the reaction will be feasible at higher temperatures. 2. -ΔH and -ΔS then ΔG will be - for lower temperatures and so the reaction will be feasible for lower temperatures.
74
Q

To find at what temperature a reaction become feasible what do you set ΔG = to?

A

0

75
Q

What equation can you use to find temperature at which a reaction just becomes feasible?
