Q

Explain how and why ΔT is found from a graph for q = mcΔT

A

ΔT is between extrapolated lines on a graph
When a certain solid is added to solution, it causes a temperature rise.
We don’t record the temperature immediately after adding it, but after stirring for some time we get a graph similar to the one seen in the notes (imagine some low plots in a line, then a big jump to some high plots - the difference between these is ΔT)

Q

Why does a more negative enthalpy change of formation mean that the compound is more stable? Explain

A

Stable compound = strong bonds
Strong bonds = lots of energy must be absorbed to break the bonds (endothermic)
Conversely, in forming the compound, the same amount of energy is given out
So, the more negative the enthalpy change of formation of the compound, the more stable it will be

Energy cycles with several steps that are used to calculate the energy of formation of ionic compounds from elements in their standard states

147
Q

What are Born-Haber cycles used for?

A

To calculate the energy of formation of ionic compounds from elements in their standard states

148
Q

What steps do Born-Haber cycles include?

A

Many of the energy transfers

149
Q

What can we apply to Born Haber cycles?

A

Hess’ law

150
Q

What do upward and downward facing arrows represent on Born-Haber cycles?

A

Upwards = endothermic
Downwards = exothermic

151
Q

What are the 2 routes shown on a Born-Haber cycle?

A

Route 1 = the energy of formation from the elements in their standard states
Route 2 = the series of steps leading to the formation of the same thing

152
Q

Order of the steps in the longer process of a Born-Haber cycle

A

Enthalpy of atomisation
Ionisation energy
Enthalpy of atomisation/bond dissociation
Electron affinity
Lattice formation

153
Q

What does a more exothermic enthalpy change of lattice formation lead to?

A

A more stable ionic compound

154
Q

How do you know if an ionic compound is more stable from lattice formation values?

A

More exothermic = more stable ionic compound

155
Q

Enthalpy occurs atomisation of Li equatiion

A

Li (s) —> Li (g)

156
Q

Equation for the first ionisation energy of lithium

A

Li (g) —> Li+ (g) + e-

157
Q

Equation for the enthalpy of atomisation/bond dissociation of fluorine

A

1/2F2 (g) —> F (g)

158
Q

Equation for electron affinity of fluorine

A

F (g) —> F- (g)

159
Q

Equation for the lattice formation of LiF

A

Li+ (g) + F- (g) —> LiF (s)

160
Q

Important concept for Hess’ law

A

Route 1 = route 2

161
Q

What is the enthalpy change of formation equal to on most Born-Haber cycles?

A

Atomisation + ionisation + bond dissociation/atomisation + electron affinity + lattice formation

162
Q

What could we be given when referring to ionisation?

A

Total, 1st, 2nd or 3rd

163
Q

What do we do if we’re given the electron affinity for 1 Cl- ion and need it for Cl2?

A

Multiply the enthalpy change by 2

164
Q

What do we do if we’re given the atomisation/bond dissociation for Cl2, but we only need it for Cl-?

A

Divide the enthalpy change by 2

165
Q

How are 1st and 2nd electron affinities different and how could this affect a Born-Haber cycle?

A

1st electron affinity = exothermic
2nd electron affinity = endothermic
If it were endothermic, it would have the arrow facing in the opposite direction

166
Q

Explain why the second electron affinity of oxygen is positive

A

The second electron is added to a negative species so its endothermic since energy is needed to do this

167
Q

How do we apply Hess’ law to a Born-Haber cycle with an arrow facing in the opposite direction for the 2nd electron affinity?

A

It’s still in the same direction as everything else except for the enthalpy of formation

168
Q

What do we need to not get confused between with Born-Haber cycles?

A

ΔHf between…
Enthalpy of formation (ΔHf)
Lattice formation (ΔHL)

169
Q

Which values might we need to multiply or divide by 2 when working with Born-Haber cycles?

A

Electron affinity
Ionisation
Atomisation/bond dissociation
Bond energy

170
Q

What do you do if you’re given a lattice breaking value with Born-Haber cycles? Why?

A

Change the + to -
We want lattice formation values

171
Q

What do we need to remember to do when writing about enthalpy changes of atomisation?

A

Write it for one atom of that element
E.g - Cl2 = 242
So, write enthalpy change of atomisation as 121kJmol-1

172
Q

What happens to ionisation energies with successive ionisation energies?

A

Increase for successive ionisation energies

173
Q

What will have the highest ionisation energy value? 2nd or 1st?

A

2nd

174
Q

Describe how the enthalpy changes need to be for an ionic solid to dissolve

A

Enthalpy change of hydration needs to be more exothermic than the enthalpy change of lattice making
