#1
Front (Question)

if starting from LiCI (s) how do you create born haber cycles going up then going down

Back (Answer)

enthalpy of formation (exo) -> Li(S) + 1/2CL2(g) enthalpy of atomisation of chlorine Li(s) + cl(g) enthalpy atomisation of lithium Li(g) + cl (g) 1st ionisation energy of lithium li+(g) + cl(g) + e- going down.. 1st electron affinity of chlorine (exo) Li+(g) + Cl-(g) lattice enthalpy of formation of lithium chloride LiCI (s)

#2
Front (Question)

steps going up __ ____ ____ as the steps going down

Back (Answer)

steps going up is the same as the steps going down

#3
Front (Question)

when calculating born haber cycles when you go w the arrow you … when you go agianst the arrow you…

Back (Answer)

when you go with the arrow, keep the sign the same when you go against the arrow change the sign

#4
Front (Question)

down arrows are ..

Back (Answer)

exo

#5
Front (Question)

up arrows are ..

Back (Answer)

endo

#6
Front (Question)

if calc enthalpy for 1/2 cl2 and values given is for cl2 what do you do

Back (Answer)

half the enthalpy

#7
Front (Question)

is lattice enthalpy exo or endo

Back (Answer)

exo

#8
Front (Question)

is enthalpy of formation exo or endo

Back (Answer)

exo

#9
Front (Question)

is enthalpy of atomisation endo or exo

Back (Answer)

endo

#10
Front (Question)

is ionisation energies endo or exo

Back (Answer)

endo

#11
Front (Question)

is first e- affinity endo or exo

Back (Answer)

exo

#12
Front (Question)

every other e- affinity apart from 1st

Back (Answer)

endo

#13
Front (Question)

we represent atomisation steps …

Back (Answer)

first w metal second non metal

#14
Front (Question)

The greater the value of the lattice enthalpy, the ….

Back (Answer)

stronger the ionic bonds

#15
Front (Question)

Smaller ions and higher charge ions give stronger ionic bonding because

Back (Answer)

Smaller ions are more closely packed in the lattice, so are more attracted to each other, resulting in high lattice enthalpy. * Ions with high charge have stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the ions which results in high lattice enthalpy

#16
Front (Question)

assumptions of perfect ionic model

Back (Answer)

✴The bonding in the compound is completely ionic. ✴The ions are regarded as perfect spheres + are not distorted (i.e. have their charge evenly distributed around them).

#17
Front (Question)

if expirmental value is diff from theortical value it indicates..

Back (Answer)

compound doesnt follow perfect ionic model - there is some covalent character to the compound

#18
Front (Question)

when is their covalent character in ionic compounf

Back (Answer)

a small and highly charged cation can distort a large anion so that there is covalent character to the ‘ionic compound’. This means that ions are distorted and not spherical (That IS assumed by the perfect ionic model) positive ion polarises negative ion

#19
Front (Question)

the more polarisation we get…

Back (Answer)

the more covalent character there will be

#20
Front (Question)

covalent character to a compound leads to …

Back (Answer)

This leads to a difference between the values of the experimental lattice enthalpy and the theoretical lattice enthalpy. The greater the difference in the values, the greater the covalent character in the compound.

#21
Front (Question)

define enthalpy change of solution

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when one mol of an ionic sub is dissolved in the minimum amount of solvent to ensure no further enthalpy change is observed upon further dilution

#22
Front (Question)

2 things that need to occur for a substance to dissolve

Back (Answer)

substance bonds must break (endo) new bonds formed between solvent and substance (exo)

#23
Front (Question)

explain how a substance is dissolved

Back (Answer)

ionic lattice in solid form substance bonds broken to create to create free moving

#24
Front (Question)

steps of dissolving a solid ionic lattice

Back (Answer)

1) ionic lattice in solid form + water 2) substance binds broken to create free moving ions 3) bonds formed between ions and water - ions are hydrated
