#1
Front (Question)

lattice enthalpy

Back (Answer)

A LE H* (always a - value as it is exothermic) enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of 1 mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions a measure of the strength of ionic bonding in a giant ionic lattice

#2
Front (Question)

lattice enthalpy cannot be directly measured so how is it measured

Back (Answer)

born harbor cycle uses known energy changes in an energy cycle

#3
Front (Question)

standard enthalpy change of formation

Back (Answer)

A f H* enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions in there standard states exothermic

#4
Front (Question)

standard enthalpy change of atomisation

Back (Answer)

A at H* enthalpy change that takes place for the formation of 1 mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard state under standard conditions always endothermic as bonds are broken for already gaseous atoms it is bond enthalpy of bond being broken e.g. 1/2 Cl2(g) —> Cl(g)

#5
Front (Question)

1st ionisation energy

Back (Answer)

A IE H* enthalpy change required to remove 1 electron from each atom in 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions endothermic as energy is required to overcome the attraction between a negative electron and positive

#6
Front (Question)

1st electron efinity

Back (Answer)

A EA H* enthalpy change that takes place when 1 electron is added to each atom of 1 mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1- ions opposite of ionisation energy exothermic second electron affinities are endothermic e- being gained by a - ion

#7
Front (Question)

standard enthalpy change of solution

Back (Answer)

A sol H* enthalpy change that takes place when 1 mole of a solute dissolves in 1 mole of a solvent if solvent is water, ions from the ionic lattice finish up surrounded with water molecules as aqueous ions e.g Na+Cl- + aq(excess water) —> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) exo or endothermic

#8
Front (Question)

what is m in q=mcAT

Back (Answer)

mass what is changing temp could be solution

#9
Front (Question)

what happens when an ionic compound dissolves in water

Back (Answer)

ionic lattice breaks up forming separate gaseous ions (opposite of lattice enthalpy) gaseous ions interact with the polar water molecules forming hydrated aqueous ions, water molecules are attracted to and surround the ions enthalpy change of hydration

#10
Front (Question)

enthalpy change of hydration

Back (Answer)

A hyd H enthalpy change that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form 1 mol of aqueous ions

#11
Front (Question)

general properties of ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

high melting and boiling points soluble in polar solvents conduct electricity when molten or in aqueous solution

#12
Front (Question)

what affects lattice enthalpy

Back (Answer)

ionic size ionic charge

#13
Front (Question)

as ionic size increases A LE H*

Back (Answer)

ionic radius increases attraction between ions decreases lattice enthalpy less negative melting point decreases

#14
Front (Question)

as ionic charge increases A LE H*

Back (Answer)

attraction between ions increases lattice energy becomes more negative melting point increases

#15
Front (Question)

ionic charge and size across period 3

Back (Answer)

Na + -> Mg 2+ -> Al 3+ increasing charge more attraction decreasing size more attraction S 2- <- Cl - increasing charge more attraction increasing size less attraction

#16
Front (Question)

factors affecting hydration enthalpies

Back (Answer)

ionic size ionic charge

#17
Front (Question)

as ionic size increases A hyd H*

Back (Answer)

ionic radius increases attraction between ion and water molecules decrease hydration energy less negative

#18
Front (Question)

as ionic charge increases A hyd H*

Back (Answer)

attraction with water molecules increases hydration energy becomes more negative

#19
Front (Question)

predicting solubility

Back (Answer)

if sum of hydration enthalpies is larger than the magnitude of lattice enthalpy the overall enthalpy change (enthalpy change of solution) will be exothermic and the compound should dissolve but some with endothermic can dissolve to

#20
Front (Question)

entropy (S)

Back (Answer)

measures the dispersal of energy within chemicals making up a chemical system disorder JK-1mol-1 per kelvin per mol

#21
Front (Question)

greater the entropy

Back (Answer)

greater the dispersal of energy and disorder

#22
Front (Question)

rank the states of matter from lowest entropy to highest

Back (Answer)

solids, liquids, gasses mostly

#23
Front (Question)

entropy value at 0K

Back (Answer)

no energy so 0

#24
Front (Question)

effect of gaseous products on entropy

Back (Answer)

production of a gas increases entropy if products have less moles of gas than reactants entropy decreases
