#1
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of formation (∆fHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states, under standard conditions. * E.g. 2C(s) + 3H2(g) + ½O2(g) → C2H5OH(l)

#2
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of combustion (∆cHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is completely burned in O2 under standard conditions with all reactants + products in their standard states. * E.g. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

#3
Front (Question)

Bond dissociation enthalpy (∆BDEHƟ):

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of bonds of the same type are broken under standard conditions in the gaseous state. * E.g. Cl2(g) → 2Cl(g)

#4
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of atomisation (∆atHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of gaseous atoms from the element/compound in its standard state. * E.g. NaCl(s) → Na(g) + Cl(g

#5
Front (Question)

First ionisation enthalpy (∆ie1HƟ)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when 1 mole of electrons is removed from 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous ions with a +1 charge. * E.g. Na(g) → Na+(g) + e

#6
Front (Question)

Second ionisation enthalpy (∆ie2HƟ)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when 1 mole of electrons is removed from 1 mole of gaseous ions with a charge of +1 to form one mole of gaseous ions with a charge of +2. * E.g. Na+(g) → Na2+(g) + e

#7
Front (Question)

First electron affinity (∆EA1HƟ)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atoms form 1 mole of gaseous ions w/ a charge of -1. * E.g. O(g) + e- → O-(g)

#8
Front (Question)

values of first electron affinity are negative bc

Back (Answer)

process is exothermic

#9
Front (Question)

. Second electron affinity (∆EA2HƟ)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions with a charge of -1 form 1 mole of gaseous ions with a charge of -2. * E.g. O-(g) + e- → O2-(g)

#10
Front (Question)

whats significant ab second electron affinity value and why is this the case

Back (Answer)

Values of second electron affinities are +ve as the process is endothermic. - This is due to the repulsion from the negative ion toward the negative electron being added.

#11
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of lattice dissociation (∆LHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an solid ionic compound is dissociated into its constituent gaseous ions under standard conditions * E.g. NaCl(s) → Na+(g) + Cl-(g)

#12
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of lattice formation (∆LHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions. * E.g. Na+(g) + Cl-(g) → NaCl(s)

#13
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of hydration (∆hydHƟ):

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions is converted into 1 mole of aqueous ions. * E.g. Na+(g) → Na+(aq)

#14
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of solution (∆solHƟ)

Back (Answer)

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic substance dissolves in enough solvent to form an infinitely dilute solution.

#15
Front (Question)

What can we link enthalpy of atomisation with

Back (Answer)

Bond dissociation enthalpy

#16
Front (Question)

What 2 things must be present to link enthalpy of atomisation with bond dissociation enthalpy

Back (Answer)

#17
Front (Question)

So enthalpy of atomisation of O =?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy of atomisation of O = 1/2 x bond dissociation enthalpy of O=O
