#1
Front (Question)

Increase ionic charge

Back (Answer)

• lattice enthalpy more exothermic • more energy required to overcome electrostatic attraction • higher melting point • higher thermal stability

#2
Front (Question)

Decreased ionic radius

Back (Answer)

• lattice enthalpy becomes more exothermic • more energy required to overcome electrostatic attraction • higher melting point 4.higher thermal stability

#3
Front (Question)

polarisation

Back (Answer)

distortion of electron cloud in molecule/ion by nearby positive charge

#4
Front (Question)

Born-haber cycle

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change of formation= atomisation metal + ionisation energy metal + atomisation gas + electron affinity + lattice enthalpy

#5
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of atomisation

Back (Answer)

m(s) -> m(g) 1/2x2(g) -> x(g) enthalpy change when 1 mol of gaseous atoms is formed from the element in its standard state

#6
Front (Question)

Ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

m(g) -> m+(g) + e- enthalpy change to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mol of gaseous atoms to form 1 mol of gaseous 1+ ions

#7
Front (Question)

Electron affinity

Back (Answer)

X(g) + e- -> X-(g) The enthalpy change accompanying the gain of 1 mol of electrons by 1 mol of gaseous atoms

#8
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of formation

Back (Answer)

M(s) + X2(g) -> MX2(s) Enthalpy change when when 1 mol of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard state

#9
Front (Question)

Lattice enthalpy

Back (Answer)

aM^b+(g) + bX^a-(g) -> MaXb(s) enthalpy change when 1 mol of ionic lattice is formed from its constituent gaseous ions 298k and 10KPa

#10
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of hydration

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change when 1 mol of gaseous ions is completely hydrated by water X^a+(g) -> X^n+(aq)

#11
Front (Question)

Larger hydration enthalpy

Back (Answer)

• smaller ionic radius • larger ionic charge • increased electrostatic attraction to water molecules

#12
Front (Question)

Enthalpy change of solution

Back (Answer)

compound(s) -> X+(aq) + M-(aq) enthalpy change when 1mol of ionic solid dissolves in water

#13
Front (Question)

Born-haber cycle hydration

Back (Answer)

enthalpy of hydration = lattice enthalpy + enthalpy of solution

#14
Front (Question)

Entropy

Back (Answer)

measure of dispersal energy in a system ΔS KJmol^-1s^-1

#15
Front (Question)

Increase in entropy

Back (Answer)

• solid becomes liquid • liquid becomes gas • temperature rises • solid dissolves in liquid to form a solution • products have more molecules in same state

#16
Front (Question)

Solid entropy

Back (Answer)

• low • small degree of freedom • stuck vibrating particles

#17
Front (Question)

Liquid entropy

Back (Answer)

• greater degree of freedom of movement than solid • disperse more energy

#18
Front (Question)

Gas entropy

Back (Answer)

• greatest degree of freedom of movement • disperse the most energy

#19
Front (Question)

ΔS formula

Back (Answer)

entropy of products - entropy of reactants KJmol^-1K^-1

#20
Front (Question)

ΔS total

Back (Answer)

ΔS system + ΔS surroundings

#21
Front (Question)

ΔG

Back (Answer)

ΔH -TΔS units KJmol^-1

#22
Front (Question)

Feasibility of reaction

Back (Answer)

Δ<0

#23
Front (Question)

Feasibility at equilibirum

Back (Answer)

ΔG=0 0=ΔH - TΔS T = ΔH/ΔS
