Enthalpy change
- a heat change
at constant
pressure
Enthalpy of formation - the
enthalpy change when one mole of
a compound is form d from its
elements in their standard states
under standard conditions
Enthalpy of
combustion - the
enthalpy change when
one mole of substance
is completely burnt in
oxygen
Enthalpy of atomisation - the
enthalpy change which accompanies
the formation of one mole of
gaseous atoms from the element in
its standard state under standard
conditions
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
Second ionisation
energy - the loss of a
mole of electrons
from a mole of
singly positively
charged ions
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
Second electron affinity -
the 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 two
negative charges
Lattice Enthalpy of formation -
the standard enthalpy change
when one mole of solid ionic
compound is formed from it's
gaseous ions
Enthalpy of hydration - the
standard enthalpy change
when water molecules
surround one mole of
gaseous ions
Enthalpy of solution - the
standard enthalpy change
when one mole of solute
dissolves completely in
sufficient solvent to form a
solution in which the
molecules or ions are far
enough apart not to interact
with each other
Mean bond enthalpy - the
enthaloy change when one
mole of gaseous molecules
each breaks a covalent
bond to form two free
radicals, averaged over a
range of compounds
Born-Haber cycles
a thermochemical cycle
that includes all the
enthalpy changes
involved in the
formation of an ionic
compound
the formation of an ionic
compound is an exothermic
process due to the large
amount of energy given out
when the lattice forms
all elements in their standard
states have zero enthalpy
Trends in lattice
enthalpies
larger ions lead to smaller lattice
enthalpies as the opposite charges do
not approach each other as closely
when the ions are larger
the lattice enthalpy increases with the size
of the charge as ions with double the charge
give out roughly twice as much energy when
they come together
down the group - larger positive ions
across the period - larger negative
ions
Spontaneous or
feasible reactions
entropy - the
measurement of
disorder in a system
if the products are more disordered than the
reactants, the ∆S value will be positive
gases are more disordered than liquids
which are more disordered than solids due
to the arrangement of particles
entropy change = entropies of products - entropies of reactants
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
if ∆G is negative, the
reaction is feasible
spontaneous reaction - a reaction
that occurs without an outside
agency eg. heat energy
a positive enthalpy
change is endothermic
(heat energy is
absorbed from the
surroundings)
