QuestionAnswer
What does a negative free energy change tell us? The process is spontaneous (feasible).
Define enthalpy change The heat change at constant pressure
Define enthalpy of atomisation of an element. The enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the element in its standard state
Define enthalpy of hydration. The standard enthalpy change when water molecules surround one mole of gaseous ions.
Define enthalpy of solution. The standard enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic solid dissolves completely in sufficient water to form a solution in which the ions are far enough apart not to interact with each other
Define first electron affinity. The standard enthalpy change when a mole of gaseous atoms is converted to a mole of gaseous ions each with a single negative charge.
Define first ionisation energy. The standard enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is converted into a mole of gaseous ions each with a single positive charge.
Define lattice dissociation enthalpy. The standard enthalpy change when one mole of solid ionic compound is broken up into its free gaseous ions.
Define lattice formation enthalpy. The standard enthalpy change when one mole of solid ionic compound is formed from its free gaseous ions.
Define mean bond enthalpy. The enthalpy change when one mole of covalent bonds is broken, with all species in the gaseous state, average over a range of different compounds.
Define second electron affinity. The standard enthalpy change when a mole of electrons is added to a mole of gaseous ions each with a single negative charge to form ions each with a double negative charge.
Define second ionisation energy. The standard enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous unipositive ions is converted into a mole of gaseous ions each with a double positive charge.
Define standard enthalpy of atomisation of a compound. The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound in its standard state is converted into its free gaseous atoms.
Define standard enthalpy of combustion. The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states.
Define standard enthalpy of formation. The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is produced from its constituent elements under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states.
Define the Perfect Ionic Model. A mathematical calculation of the lattice formation enthalpy of a compound, which assumes that the positive and negative ions are perfectly spherical and that there is no covalent character in the compound.
State Hess's Law The enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states of the reaction and is independent of the route by which the reaction occurs.
What are standard conditions? A standard pressure of 100 kPa and 298K
What is entropy? A measure of disorder
What is the entropy change? The change in disorder of a system. An increase in disorder produces a positive entropy change.
Write an expression for ΔHf for sodium chloride in terms of the enthalpy changes in a Born Haber cycle (use symbols not words) ΔHf= ΔHat Na + ΔHat Cl + ΔH 1stIE Na + ΔH 1stEA Cl + ΔHLE NaCl
Write an expression for ΔHf for Calcium Bromide in terms of the enthalpy changes in a Born Haber cycle (use symbols not words) ΔHf= ΔHat Ca + 2ΔHatBr + ΔH 1stIE Ca + ΔH 2ndIE Ca + 2ΔH 1stEABr + ΔH LE CaBr2
Write an expression for the lattice enthalpy of formation for Potassium Iodide in terms of the enthalpy changes in a Born Haber cycle (use symbols not words) ΔHLE Kl= ΔHf - ΔHat K - ΔHat I - ΔH 1stIE K - ΔH 1stEA
Why is the lattice enthalpy of magnesium oxide so much greater than that of sodium chloride "because in magnesium oxide, 2+ ions are attracting 2- ions; in sodium chloride, the attraction is only between 1+ and 1- ions.
" Why does the lattice enthalpy of the group 1 metal chlorides decrease down the group "Attractions are governed by the distances between the centres of the oppositely charged ions, and that distance is greater as the positive ion gets bigger.
" Explain the relationship between charge density of the ions in an ionic lattice and the degree of covalent character of the bonding. The greater the charge density of the ions the greater the covalent charater in the lattice because the greater the degree of polarisation of the anion by the cation.
How can you tell from looking at actual and theoretical lattice enthalpy data that a particular ionic compund has a significant degree of covalent character The actual lattice enthalpy will be greater than the theoretical lattice enthalpy. The greater the difference the greater the degree of covalent character.
State the formula to calculate the enthalpy of solution of sodium iodide in terms of the energy changes in a Born Haber Cycle ΔHsol= ΔHLE(dissociation) NaI + ΔHhydNa + ΔHhyd I-
State the formula to calculate the enthalpy of solution of calcium chloride in terms of the energy changes in a Born Haber Cycle ΔHsol= ΔHLE(dissociation) CaCl2 + ΔHhydCa2+ + 2ΔHhydCl-
Fill in the missing word in this statement of the second law of thermodynamics Entropy tends to a --------------- Maximum
Fill in the missing word in this description of what Entropy is the degree of -------- Entropy is the degree of disorder.
Fill in the missing words entropy increases when solids ------, liquids …… , and ionic compounds ……. In water boil, melt dissolve
What word goes in both these gaps. Entropy increases when the number of gas molecules ----- and the temperature ----- increases
What word goes in this gap. Entropy increases when atoms and molecules are ………….. larger
State the equation that links Free energy, enthalpy and entropy "ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
"What is the value of ΔG for a system at equilibirum 0
What is the most likely reason that a reaction with a negative value of ΔG does not occur. The activation energy of the reaction is too high.
"Calculate the entropy change when water turns to steam at 100°C (373K). Include the correct units for for entropy. The enthalpy of vaporisation of water is +44 kJ mol-1 " " + 118 J K -1 mol -1
"For this reactions state and explain the sign of ΔH and ΔS and hence ΔG C6H12(l) + 9O2(g) —> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) " " ΔS is positive due to increase in number of molecules ΔH is negative as combustion is exothermic Taking a +ive value away from a –ive value must give a –ive value ΔG must be NEGATIVE so the reaction is feasible
"This reaction is exothermic. Explain why it will only be feasible at low temperature. NH3(g) + HCl(g) —> NH4Cl(s) " ΔS is negative due to the reduction in gas molecules. So ΔG will only be negative at low temperature because only at low temperature will -TΔS be less positive than ΔH is negative
