#1
Front (Question)

how do you work out the standard enhalpy change?

Back (Answer)

products - reactants

#2
Front (Question)

define first ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

when the outer electron is removed from 1 mole of a gaseous atom to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions

#3
Front (Question)

define second ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

the energy required to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions

#4
Front (Question)

define first electron affinity

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change released when 1 mole of electrons is added to 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions

#5
Front (Question)

define second electron affinity

Back (Answer)

the energy required to add 1 mole of electrons to 1 mole of gaseous atoms 1- ions converting them to gaseous 2- ions

#6
Front (Question)

define standard enthalpy of atomisation

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is produced from an element in its standard state under standard conditions

#7
Front (Question)

is the 1st ionisation energy an endothermic or exothermic process and why?

Back (Answer)

• endothermic • energy is required to overcome electrostatic attraction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the outermost negtively charged electron

#8
Front (Question)

is the 1st electron affinity an endothermic or exothermic process and why?

Back (Answer)

• exothermic • electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons which is being adddd to the atom

#9
Front (Question)

is the 2nd electron affinity an endothermic or exothermic process and why?

Back (Answer)

• endothermic • to add a 2nd electron it must be added to a negatively charged ion • energy is required to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged ion and the externally added electron

#10
Front (Question)

define the enthalpy change of hydration

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions dissolves in sufficient water to form aqeuous ions in an infintely dilute solution

#11
Front (Question)

define the enthalpy of solution

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of ionic solid is dissolved in waterto form aqueous ions in an infinitely dilute solution

#12
Front (Question)

how do you work out the enthalp change of hydration?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change of solution + enthalpy change of lattice enthalpy of formation

#13
Front (Question)

how do you work out the enthalpy change of solution?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change of hydration + enthalpy change of lattice enthalpy of dissociation

#14
Front (Question)

what is entropy?

Back (Answer)

a measure of disorder in a system

#15
Front (Question)

what is free gibbs energy and its equation?

Back (Answer)

• the max amount of energy that can be done by a chemical reaction • enthalpy change - (tempreture x enthalpy change of solution)

#16
Front (Question)

what is a feasible reaction?

Back (Answer)

• one that can take place at a particular tempreture • Gibbs energy is equal to 0 or less than

#17
Front (Question)

how do you workout enthapy change of solution?

Back (Answer)

products - reactants

#18
Front (Question)

what is the y=mx + c equivilant to gibbs free energy?

Back (Answer)

y = gibbs free energy m = enthalpy change of a solution x = tempreture c = enthalpy change

#19
Front (Question)

why does gibbs free energy decrease when the tempreture increases?

Back (Answer)

• when T increases the value of - T^S becomes more negative • T is always positive becuase its in K • enthalpy change is constant so it doesnt change

#20
Front (Question)

how can you tell a reaction just becomes feasible on a graph?

Back (Answer)

when the line crosses the x-axis which has a value of gibbs free energy is 0

#21
Front (Question)

why do data book values not contain the value of enthalpy of solution for sodium oxide?

Back (Answer)

reacts with water
