Unit 5 Flashcards
1
Q
Lattice Energy
A
the energy given off when separated gaseous ions—positive and negative—come together to form one mole of a solid ionic compound.
2
Q
born haber process steps
A
- Sublime to bring solid to gas
- Ionize to get the gas to be an ion and lose an electron (positive charge)
- Electron affinity to add an electron and give a negative charge
- Dissociate: if there is a subscript on the molecule, change it to a coefficient in front of the element
- react
Total energy = heat of formations
3
Q
Ka
A
acid dissociation constant:
which is a measure of how readily an acid dissociates (breaks apart) in a solution, essentially indicating the strength of an acid; a higher Ka value means a stronger acid because more of it dissociates in water.
4
Q
pKa
A
negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant,” which is a measure of how readily a molecule donates a proton (hydrogen ion), essentially indicating the strength of an acid; a lower pKa value signifies a stronger acid, meaning it more easily releases its proton.
