#1
Front (Question)

What state are bond enthalpies in?

Back (Answer)

Gaseous

#2
Front (Question)

What does bond breaking involve

Back (Answer)

Separating atoms that are attracted by an electrostatic force, requires energy

#3
Front (Question)

What does bond forming involve

Back (Answer)

Bringing together atoms that are attracted by an electrostatic force, releases energy.

#4
Front (Question)

Average bond enthalpy strength order

Back (Answer)

single covalent bond< double cb< triple cb

#5
Front (Question)

Hess’s Law of constant heat summation

Back (Answer)

The total energy change in a chemical reaction depends only on the initial and final states and is independent of reaction pathway.

#6
Front (Question)

Standard enthalpy of atomisation of an element

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms are formed from the element in its gaseous state

#7
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of formation

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one of product is formed from its constituent/separate elements in their standard state.

#8
Front (Question)

First ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

The minimum energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms (or ions for 2nd IE) to form one mole of gaseous ions.

#9
Front (Question)

Electron affinity

Back (Answer)

The energy released when one mole of gaseous atoms acquire an electron to form one mole gaseous ion.

#10
Front (Question)

Lattice Enthalpy

Back (Answer)

The energy needed to convert one mole of ionic solid into gaseous ions under standard conditions.

#11
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of Atomisation

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the elements in its standard state. (turning an element in its ss into a gas)

#12
Front (Question)

Calculating enthalpy of atomisation and dissociation for diatomic molecules

Back (Answer)

Halve the bond enthalpy values in the data booklet.

#13
Front (Question)

Infinite dilution

Back (Answer)

A solution that is already so diluted that adding more water isn’t going to change the conc.

#14
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of solution

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one mole of a solute is dissolved in solvent to infinite dilution at STP. (solid–>aq ions).

#15
Front (Question)

Steps of enthalpy of solution

Back (Answer)

Lattice enthalpy (lattice–>ions (g)) then enthalpy of hydration (hydrates ions (g) to make them aq).

#16
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of hydration

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions is dissolved to form an infinitely dilute solution of one mole of aq ions. (gaseous ions–>aq ions)

#17
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of dissociation

Back (Answer)

The amount of energy required to break a chemical bond between two species.
