#7
Front (Question)

How does ionic radius affect hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

↑ ionic radius WEAKER PERMANENT DIPOLE between IONS + H2O less ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these forces LESS EXOTHERMIC hydration enthalpy

#8
Front (Question)

How does ionic charge affect hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

↑ ionic charge STRONGER PERMANENT DIPOLE between IONS + H2O more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of these forces MORE EXOTHERMIC hydration enthalpy

#9
Front (Question)

How can lattice enthalpy be an indicator of the melting point of an ionic compound?

Back (Answer)

lattice enthalpy = measure of bond strength MORE EXOTHERMIC LE = STRONGER ionic bonds, which require MORE ENERGY to break = HIGHER m.p

#10
Front (Question)

During changes of state of simple covalent molecules, intermolecular forces are overcome. However, giant ionic lattices have no intermolecular forces, ∴ become molten by…

Back (Answer)

breaking ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions

#11
Front (Question)

How can hydration enthalpy be a measure of intermolecular force (permanent dipoles) strength?

Back (Answer)

MORE EXOTHERMIC hyd = more ENERGY RELEASED during formation of permanent dipoles = stronger permanent dipoles

#12
Front (Question)

What type of intermolecular force is formed between dissociated gaseous ions of the ionic lattice + H2O molecules during hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

permanent dipole

#13
Front (Question)

What is lattice enthalpy a measure of?

Back (Answer)

ionic bond strength

#14
Front (Question)

What is hydration enthalpy a measure of?

Back (Answer)

intermolecular force strength between dissociated ions + H2O molecules.

#15
Front (Question)

If lattice enthalpy is more exothermic, ionic bonds are ____.

Back (Answer)

stronger. ∵ more energy released during formation, so require more energy to break.

#16
Front (Question)

If lattice enthalpy is less exothermic, ionic bonds are ____.

Back (Answer)

weaker. ∵ less energy released during formation, so require less energy to break.

#17
Front (Question)

Which factors give a more exothermic lattice enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

(factors increasing electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions) smaller ionic radius + greater ionic charge

#18
Front (Question)

Which factors give a less exothermic lattice enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

(factors decreasing electrostatic attatraction between oppositely charged ions) larger ionic radius + lower ionic charge

#19
Front (Question)

Which factors give a more exothermic hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

(factors increasing permanent dipole strength between ions + H2O) smaller ionic radius + greater ionic charge

#20
Front (Question)

Which factors give a less exothermic hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

(factors decreasing dipole strength between ions + H2O) larger ionic radius + lower ionic charge
