Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

lattice enthalpy definition

Back (Answer)

measure of the strength of ionic bonding in a giant ionic lattice

#2
Front (Question)

what is the purpose of Born- Haber cycles

Back (Answer)

determines the lattice enthalpy indirectly

#3
Front (Question)

what sort of energy change is needed to form gaseous atoms? why?

Back (Answer)

• endothermic - involves breaking bonds

#4
Front (Question)

what sort of energy change is needed to form gaseous ions?

Back (Answer)

endothermic

#5
Front (Question)

what sort of energy change is needed to form a lattice

Back (Answer)

exothermic

#6
Front (Question)

standard enthalpy change of formation definition

Back (Answer)

formation of 1 mol of a compound from its elements in its standard states under standard conditions

#7
Front (Question)

standard enthalpy change of atomisation definition

Back (Answer)

formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard states under standard conditions

#8
Front (Question)

first electron affinity definition

Back (Answer)

addition of 1 mol of electrons to 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of gaseous 1- ions

#9
Front (Question)

enthalpy change of hydration definition

Back (Answer)

dissolving of 1 mol of gaseous ions in water

#10
Front (Question)

explain why the 2nd ionisation is more endothermic than the 1st ionisation

Back (Answer)

• Mg+ has one more proton than electrons • increase nuclear attraction • decrease radius

#11
Front (Question)

what energy is needed in the second electron affinity

Back (Answer)

enothermic

#12
Front (Question)

what energy is needed in the second electron affinity

Back (Answer)

endothermic

#13
Front (Question)

write the equation to calculate energy change

Back (Answer)

q=mc∆T

#14
Front (Question)

what 2 processes take place when ionic compounds dissolve in water

Back (Answer)

• ionic lattice breaks up - water molecules are attracted to, and surround, the ions

#15
Front (Question)

what are the general properties of ionic compounds?

Back (Answer)

• high melting and boiling points • soluble in polar solvents • conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution

#16
Front (Question)

effect of ionic size on lattice enthalpy

Back (Answer)

• ionic radius increases • attraction between ions decrease • lattice enthalpy less negative • melting point decreases

#17
Front (Question)

effect of ionic charge on lattice enthalpy

Back (Answer)

• ionic charge increases • attraction between ions increase • lattice energy becomes more negative • melting point increases

#18
Front (Question)

effect of ionic charge size from left to right

Back (Answer)

• increasing charge gives more attraction - decreasing size gives more attraction

#19
Front (Question)

effect of ionic charge size from right to left

Back (Answer)

• increasing charge gives more attraction - increasing size gives less attraction

#20
Front (Question)

effect of ionic size on hydration enthalpy down group 1

Back (Answer)

• ionic radius increases • attraction between ion and water molecules decreases • hydration energy less negative

#21
Front (Question)

effect of ionic size on hydration enthalpy down group 1

Back (Answer)

• ionic radius increases • attraction between ion and water molecules decreases • hydration energy less negative

#22
Front (Question)

effect of ionic charge on hydration enthalpy

Back (Answer)

• ionic charge increases • attraction with water molecules increases • hydration energy become more negative

#23
Front (Question)

what can entropy be used to predict

Back (Answer)

• a gas spreading through a room • heat from a fire spreading through a room • ice melting in a hot room

#24
Front (Question)

general rules of entropy

Back (Answer)

• solids have the smallest entropies • liquids have greater entropies • gases have the greatest entropies
