#1
Front (Question)

1st electron affinity meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms gains one electron to form one mole of gaseous 1- ions

#2
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of atomisation meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is produced from an element in its standard state

#3
Front (Question)

Hydration enthalpy meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous ions become hydrated

#4
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of solution meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic solid dissolves in an amount of water large enough so that the dissolved ions are seperated and do not interact with one another

#5
Front (Question)

Bond dissociation enthalpy meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of covalent bonds is broken in the gaseous state

#6
Front (Question)

Lattice enthalpy of formation meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of a solid ionic compound is formed from its constituent ions in the gas phase

#7
Front (Question)

Lattice enthalpy of dissociation meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of a solid ionic compound is borken up into its constituent ions in the gas phase

#8
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of vaporisation meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of liquid is turned into a gas

#9
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of fusion meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of a solid is turned into a liquid

#10
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of formation meaning

Back (Answer)

Ethalpy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements with all elements in standard states

#11
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of combustion meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion in oxygen with all substances in standard states

#12
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of neutralisation meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when 1 mole of water is formed in a reaction between an acid and alkali under standard conditions

#13
Front (Question)

First ionisation enthalpy meaning

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy change when each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms gains one electron to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions

#14
Front (Question)

Enthalpy of solution triangle

Back (Answer)

Ionic solution into its constituent dissolves ions with the gaseous ions pointing upwards towards the respective substances

#15
Front (Question)

Process of born haber cycles and why

Back (Answer)

Enthalpy of formation - start and normally x Atomisation of solid - to turn it into a gas Atomisation of gas - to turn it into a gaseous atom/s Ionisation enthalpy/ies of solid - gain a positive charge equal to standard charge Electron affinity/ies of gas - gain a negative charge equal to standard charge Enthalpy of formation - downwards arrow with negative value OR Enthalpy of dissociation - upwards arrow with positive value

#16
Front (Question)

What does perfect ionic model mean?

Back (Answer)

Ions are perfect spheres

#17
Front (Question)

Explain why the second electron affinity of oxygen has a positive value [1]

Back (Answer)

[1] O- repels the electron

#18
Front (Question)

Explain why the enthalpy of dissociation for sodium oxide is greater than the enthalpy of lattice dissociation for sodium chloride [2]

Back (Answer)

[1] Oxide ions have a higher negative charge [2] Stronger attraction between oppositely charged ions

#19
Front (Question)

Why do data books not contain a value for the enthalpy of solution for sodium oxide? [1]

Back (Answer)

[1] Reacts with water

#20
Front (Question)

What is entropy?

Back (Answer)

Disorder

#21
Front (Question)

What is entropy directly proportional to?

Back (Answer)

The more disordered something is

#22
Front (Question)

Entropy units

Back (Answer)

J mol-1 k-1

#23
Front (Question)

Which state has the most and least entropy?

Back (Answer)

Gas has the most entropy. The particles move rapidly & randomly. Solids have the least entropy. The particles vibrate in a fixed position.

#24
Front (Question)

How does temperature affect entropy?

Back (Answer)

Higher temperature means faster moving particles and so higher entropy
