Enthalpy change
A2-Level
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Principle of conservation of energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but may only be converted from one form to another |
| Hess's law | The energy change of any chemical reaction is the same regardless of the route taken |
| Standard state | Physical state a substance is when under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of reaction ∆H | Enthalpy change in a reaction between molar quantities of reactants in their standard state and under standard conditions |
| Standard enthalpy change of atomisation ∆Hatt | Enthalpy change when one mole of an element in gas phase is formed from element in standard state H20 (l) = 2H(g) + O (g) |
| Standard enthalpy change of lattice formation ∆Hlatt | Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound is formed from ions of elements in gas phase Cl-(g) + Na+(g) =NaCl (s) |
| Standard enthalpy change of hydration ∆Hhyd | Enthalpy change when one mole of ionic compound in solution is formed from ions of elements in as phase Cl-(g) + Na+(g) =NaCl (aq) |
| Standard enthalpy change of lattice breaking ∆Hlatt | Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound is broken into ions of the elements in the gas phase Reverse of formation: Opposite sign |
| Electron affinity | Enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous negative ions are formed from gaseous atoms by gaining an electron |
| Ionisation energy | Enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous positive ions are formed from gaseous atoms by losing an electron |
| Standard enthalpy change of a solution ∆Hsol | Enthalpy change when one mole of a substance dissolves completely in a solvent to form a solution Sum of lattice breaking and hydration |
| Group 1 salt solubility | Soluble |
| Group 1 hydroxides | Soluble |
