#1
Front (Question)

What is Lattice Enthalpy ?

Back (Answer)

It is the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions.

#2
Front (Question)

What is the equation for lattice enthalpy definition ?

Back (Answer)

Na+ (g) + Cl-(g) = NaCl(s)

#3
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy of formation definition ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions.

#4
Front (Question)

What is the equation for standard enthalpy of formation ?

Back (Answer)

Na(s) + 1/2 Cl2 (g) = NaCl (s)

#5
Front (Question)

What is the definition for the standard enthalpy change of atomisation ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms forms from the element in its standard state.

#6
Front (Question)

What is the equation for standard enthalpy of atomisation ?

Back (Answer)

Na(s) = Na(g) 1/2 Cl2 (g) = Cl(g)

#7
Front (Question)

What is the first ionisation energy definition ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 electron is removed from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions.

#8
Front (Question)

What is the equation for first ionisation energy ?

Back (Answer)

Na (g) = Na+ (g) + e-

#9
Front (Question)

What is the second ionisation energy definition ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 electron is removed from each ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2+ ions.

#10
Front (Question)

What is the definition for first electron affinity ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 electron is added to each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions.

#11
Front (Question)

What is the equation for first electron affinity ?

Back (Answer)

Cl- (g) + e- = Cl (g)

#12
Front (Question)

What is the definition for second electron affinity ?

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 electron is added to each ion in 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions to form 1 mole of gaseous 2- ions.

#13
Front (Question)

What is the Born-Haber Cycle ?

Back (Answer)

Lattice enthalpy cannot be calculated directly, so requires it be calculated indirectly through creating a route for changing elements in their standard states into an ionic lattice.

#14
Front (Question)

Are second electron affinities endothermic or exothermic ?

Back (Answer)

They are endothermic as a second electron is being gained by a negative ions, which repels the electron away, so energy must be put in to force the negatively charged electron on to the negative ion.

#15
Front (Question)

How are ionic compounds dissolved in water ?

Back (Answer)

Water molecules can break up giant ionic lattice structure and overcoming the strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions.

#16
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy change of solution ?

Back (Answer)

Is the enthalpy change that takes place when one moles of a solute dissolves in a solvent.

#17
Front (Question)

What is the equation for the standard enthalpy change of a solution ?

Back (Answer)

NaCl (s) + aq = Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

#18
Front (Question)

Is the standard enthalpy change of a solution endothermic or exothermic ?

Back (Answer)

Can be endothermic or exothermic depending on the relative sizes of the lattice enthalpy and the enthalpy changes of nhydration. .

#19
Front (Question)

What is the enthalpy change of hydration ?

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form one mole of aqueous ions.

#20
Front (Question)

What are the equations for enthalpy change of hydration ?

Back (Answer)

Na+(g) + aq = Na+ (aq) Cl-(g) + aq = Cl- (aq)

#21
Front (Question)

What are some properties of ionic compounds ?

Back (Answer)

High melting and boiling points, soluble in polar solvents, conduct electricity when in molten or in aqueous solution.

#22
Front (Question)

How does charge of the ion affect lattice enthalpy values ?

Back (Answer)

The greater the charge of the ions, the greater the attraction between oppositely charged ions, so lattice enthalpy is more exothermic for ions with a larger charge ?

#23
Front (Question)

How does charge of the ions affect enthalpy of hydration values ?

Back (Answer)

The greater the charge, the greater the attraction between ions and water molecules so is more exothermic.

#24
Front (Question)

How does the ionic radius affect lattice enthalpy values ?

Back (Answer)

The smaller the ionic radius, the less electron shells present so the attraction between oppositely charged ions is greater, so the more exothermic the lattice enthalpy value is.
