Define lattice enthalpy of formation
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a solid ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions under standard conditions
define entropy
• measure of disorder • number of ways that energy can be shared between particles
Define enthalpy change of atomisation
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions is made from an element in its standard state.
Define 1st electron affinity
the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions are formed from 1 mole of gaseous atoms.
Name 2 factors that affect strength of ionic bonding
• size of charge • ionic radius
Explain how Size of charge effects strength of ionic bond and melting and boiling point (2)
• larger charge = stronger electrostatic attraction between ions • therefore, more energy needed to overcome these forces, leading to a higher melting and boiling point.
Describe and explain how ionic radius affects the strength of ionic bonds (2)
• smaller ion = stronger electrostatic attraction between ions • can also pack closer together, more energy required to overcome the stronger forces = higher boiling and melting points.
Describe the structure of a born haber cycle from bottom to top. (enthalpies) and whether the steps are exothermic or endothermic. (5)
• original ionic compound (formation of which is exothermic) • enthalpy of atomisation (for all elements if needed) (endothermic) • ionisation energy of Cation (endothermic) • 1st electron affinity of Anion (endothermic) • (going right now) enthalpy of lattice (exothermic) formation.
what are the assumptions that theoretical values of lattice energy make? (2)
• assume a perfect ionic model • 100%, and attractions are purely electrostatic.
Why might theoretical and actual (born haber) values be different? (3)
• different if the compound shows covalent character - ie the cation distorts the anion slightly (kind of like they are sharing) • The higher the covalent character, the higher the larger the difference would be in the theoretical and Born Haber value. • the Born Haber value for a compound would be larger than the theoretical when the compound has some covalent character.
Define enthalpy of solution.
• the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic solid dissolves in a large enough amount of water to ensure they don’t interact.
Define enthalpy of lattice formation
• the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic crystal is formed from its constituent gaseous ions.
define enthalpy of hydration
• when one mole of gaseous ions become hydrated such that further dilution causes no heat change.
How do we calculate enthalpy change of solution?
Enthalpy change of solution = -Enthalpy of lattice formation + sum of enthalpy of hydration.
What can be concluded about a substance from its enthalpy change of solution?
• substance more likely soluble if exothermic • substance more likely to be insoluble if endothermic (as lattice energy much larger than hydration enthalpy.)
what happens to the entropy when a solid dissolves into ions?
• entropy increases as there is more disorder, as solid changes to solution and number of particles increases. • this can make the total ΔSsystem can make the ΔStotal positive even if ΔH solution is endothermic, esp at higher temps.
what is a system?
• your reactants and products • does not change temp or pressure • mass cannot be transferred to the surroundings • energy can be transferred to the surroundings.
why do solids have lower entropies than liquids, which are lower than gasses?
• as a solid is heated up, and turns into liquid, its particles vibrate more, meaning that its entropy increases • gasses are most disordered, so have the highest enthalpy.
What will an increase in disorder and entropy lead to
a positive entropy change ( ΔS’ system = +ve)
Give the equation to calculate ΔS system.
= ΣS products - ΣS reactants
What is the unit for entropy?
J/K/mol
Give the equation to calculate ΔS surroundings what are some things to keep in mind when using the equation?
-ΔH reaction/T - covert ΔH to J/mol (x1000) - convert degrees to Kelvin (+273)
Give the equation to calculate total entropy change.
ΔS total = ΔS system + ΔS surrounding
What must be positive for a reaction to be spontaneous?
• ΔS total
