#1
Front (Question)

What is enthalpy change of solution?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change 1 mole of SOLUTE DISSOLVED completely in WATER under standard conditions

#2
Front (Question)

1 mol Ionic lattice (s) ⟶ Cation (aq) + anion (aq)

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change of solution

#3
Front (Question)

What events occur during dissolving an ionic lattice?

Back (Answer)

• Polar H2O ATTRACTED to SURFACE of ionic lattice • H𝛅+ to anions, O𝛅- to cations • Electrostatic attraction between opposite ions decreases, WEAKENS ionic bonds. • Ionic bonds BREAK, forming gaseous ions. • Water molecules SURROUND ions, now aqueous.

#4
Front (Question)

What is hydration enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

enthalpy change 1 MOL GASEOUS IONS hydrated.

#5
Front (Question)

What occurs during enthalpy of hydration?

Back (Answer)

formation of permanent dipoles between gaseous ions + water molecules forming aqueous ions

#6
Front (Question)

How do you determine the enthalpy change of solution?

Back (Answer)

• weigh sample of solid ionic lattice • measure volume + starting temperature of water. • add solid ionic compound into water + stir with thermometer until fully dissolved. • measure END TEMPERATURE. Q = mcΔT to find energy change, then divide by number of moles + change sign.

#7
Front (Question)

What are the units for Q in Q = mcΔT?

Back (Answer)

joules, J

#8
Front (Question)

What are the units for m in Q = mcΔT?

Back (Answer)

kilograms, Kg

#9
Front (Question)

What are the units for c in Q = mcΔT?

Back (Answer)

Joules per gram per degree Kelvin, J/gK

#10
Front (Question)

What are the units for ΔT in Q = mcΔT?

Back (Answer)

does not matter since a change of 1 kelvin is equal to 1 degree celsius.

#11
Front (Question)

What is Q = mcΔT used to calculate?

Back (Answer)

the change in heat energy. (usually of the surroundings)

#12
Front (Question)

During enthalpy change of solution, energy is either absorbed or released by the ions of the _____ when _____ + becoming aqueous. This energy is either absorbed by or taken from the _____. so, calculating the temperature change of a mass of water, + the energy required to cause that temperature change calculates the overall energy change of the surroundings. The increase in the energy of the surroundings = the energy _____ by the dissolving ionic lattice.

Back (Answer)

solid ionic lattice, dissociating, water, released

#13
Front (Question)

What changes of state occur during enthalpy change of solution?

Back (Answer)

solid ionic compound ⟶ gaseous ions ⟶ aqueous ions

#14
Front (Question)

1 mol gaseous ions + aq ⟶ 1 mol aqueous ions

Back (Answer)

enthalpy of hydration

#15
Front (Question)

What occurs during hydration of gaseous ions?

Back (Answer)

formation of INTERMOLECULAR forces (permanent dipole) between GASEOUS IONS + WATER MOLECULES (formation of intermolecular forces is exothermic)

#16
Front (Question)

Solution enthalpy = _____ + _____

Back (Answer)

-LE + Hyd (of both cation & anion)

#17
Front (Question)

Is solution enthalpy endothermic or exotherimic?

Back (Answer)

can be EITHER, depending on the relative magnitude of lattice enthalpy + hydration enthalpy. sol = -LE + Hyd

#18
Front (Question)

Why does solution enthalpy consist of -LE + Hyd?

Back (Answer)

Solid ionic lattice ⟶ gaseous ions - LE gaseous ions ⟶ aqueous ions + Hyd
