The enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions
e.g. K(s) + 1/2Cl2(g) -> KCl(s)
Usually exothermic for an ionic compound.
Enthalpy change of atomisation, ΔHat
Nota:
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of gaseous atoms forms from the element in its standard state
E.g. K(s) -> K(g) or 1/2Cl2(g) -> Cl(g)
Always exothermic as a bond is being broken
First ionisation energy, ΔHI
Nota:
The enthalpy change the accompanies the removal of one electron from each atom to form one mole of gaseous 1+ ions
E.g. Ca(g) -> Ca+(g) + e^-
Always endothermic as the electron being lost has to overcome attraction from the nucleus
First electron affinity, ΔHEA
Nota:
The enthalpy change that accompanies the addition of an electron to one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous 1- ions
E.g. Cl(g) + e^- -> Cl^-(g)
Always exothermic as the electron is attracted into the outer shell of an atom by the nucleus
Hess's law
Nota:
If a reaction can take place by more than one route and the initial and final conditions are the same, the total enthalpy change is the same for each route,
Lattice enthalpy, ΔHLE
Nota:
The energy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous elements under standard conditions
e.g. 2K^+(g) + S^2-(g) -> K2S(s)
This is an exothermic change
Indicates the strength of an ionic lattice, higher the lattice enthalpy the stronger the bond
Covalent structures do not have a lattice enthalpy as their are no ions in the structure.
Impossible to measure directly as you cant form one mole of a ionic lattice in gaseous form
Enthalpy change of neutralisation, ΔHneut
Nota:
The energy change that accompanies the neutralisation of an aqueous acid by an aqueous base to form one mole of H2O(l) under standard conditions
Ionic equation = HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Enthalpy change of solution
Nota:
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is completely dissolved in water under standard conditions.
E.g. KCl(s) +aq -> K^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
Enthalpy change of hydration, ΔHhyd
Nota:
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of isolated gaseous ions is dissolved in water forming one mole of aqueous ions under standard conditions
e.g. K+(g) + aq -> K+(aq)
The effect of ionic charge and
radius on lattice enthalpy and
enthalpy change of hydration
Lattice enthalpy
Ionic radius
As ionic radius increases, the attraction between the ions is
weaker and the lattice enthalpy becomes less exothermic
The bonds are weaker and therefore the
boiling and melting points are lower
For a smaller radius, there is greater
attraction from a larger charge density
Ionic charge
The stronger the charge, the more
exothermic the lattice enthalpy
Enthalpy change of hydration
Ionic radius
As smaller molecules exert more
attraction on water molecules releasing
more energy, as the radius increases,
the reaction becomes less exothermic
Ionic charge
As the charge increases, the radius decreases so the attraction
increases, making the enthalpy change more exothermic
Born-Haber
Entropy
Entropy, S
Nota:
A quantitiative measure of disorder in a system
As molecules are always moving, S is always positive
Calculating the entropy
change of a reaction, ΔS
Nota:
∑S(products) - ∑S(reactants)
What can it can help us explain
Gas expanding in a room
How things dissolve
Heat dispursing
Changing entropy
Nota:
Entropy always increases when particles become more disordered
The entropy of a pure substance increases with increasing temperature
Changing state
Solid/liquid
Nota:
Perfect crystals have 0K entropy. as they heat up and change to a liquid, entropy increases as the particles become more randomly placed.
Liquid/gas
Nota:
When water evaporates, its entropy changes from 70 to 189
More moles of gas
Nota:
If a reaction has more moles of gas on one side than the other, the more moles of gas will have the highest entropy, shown by giving the reaction. e.g. 3O2-> 2O3 is a decrease in entropy
Dissolving
Nota:
When something dissolves the entropy increases.
Free energy
Feasibility of reaction
Nota:
A reaction is feasible if ΔG has a negative value.
Free energy change,
ΔG
Nota:
The balance between enthalpy, entropy and temperature for a process
ΔG=ΔH-TΔS
ΔH is the enthalpy change to the surroundings
ΔS is the entropy change in the system
T is the temperature in Kelvin (degrees C + 273)
