Q

what are the assumptions made for water based calorimetry?

A

rate of reaction is fast enough that max temp occurs before misture begins to cool to room temp, no heat is lost to surroundings, the solution is dilute enough that its density and specific heat capacity are equal to water

Q

why is breaking bonds an endothermic process?

A

because the attractive force between shared pair of electrons and nuclei of the two atoms must be overcome, which requires energy

Q

how can the change in enthalpy of a reaction be calculated using bond enthalpies?

A

using the data booklet, break the bonds one at a time and sum up their bond enthalpies for each step

Q

why would calculated change in enthalpy using bond enthalpies be different compared to the actual change in enthalpy?

A

because some of the states may not be gaseous, databooklet uses averages as same bond types can have different bond enthalpies

Q

how can the enthalpy of the overall reaction be calculated through tracking the breaking and forming of bonds?

A

change in enthalpy equals the sum of the bonds broken (reactants) - the sum of the bonds formed (products)

Q

is ionization energy poitive (enothermic) or negative (exothermic)?

A

positive/endothermic

18
Q

is electron affinity positive (endothermic) or negative (exothermic)?

A

negative/exothermic

19
Q

why is the second electron affinity positive/endothermic?

A

because it must overcome the repulsion between the negative anion (after first electron was gained) and the negative electron

20
Q

what is enthalpy of atomization?

A

the energy exchange when one mole of gaseous atoms of the elements are formed from the element in its standard state

21
Q

for diatomics, what value must be used to produce one mole of the atom alone?

A

half of the bond enthalpy for the two atoms bonded together

22
Q

what is the change in enthalpy of atomization for noble gases?

23
Q

why will the change in enthalpy of atomization always be positive?

A

because it is the breaking of bonds to create individual gaseous atoms

24
Q

how can the change in enthalpy of the reaction to turn the metal and non-metal in their gaseous states into the metal cation and non-metal anion be calculated?

A

by finding the sum of the ionization energy for the metal into metal cation and the electron affinity for the non-metal into non-metal anion

25
why is the formation of an ionic compound actually exothermic (energetically favourable) even when turning the gaseous elements into their cation and anion necessary for the ionic compound endothermic?
because the gaseous ions form an ionic lattice and lattice enthalpy is very exothermic
26
what are the steps to creating a born-haber cycle to calculate lattice enthalpy (neg)?
1. change in enthalpy of formation goes from individual elements to ionic compound (flip sign to go from compound to elements, make it positive) 2. enthalpy of atomization for both elements (if diatomic, this is half the energy of the bond between the two) 3. ionization energy for metal becoming cation (again if it forms a 2+ cation) 4. electron affinity for the non-metal becoming anion (again if it forms a 2- anion), first EA will be neg, second will be pos 5. from the last step to ground step with the compound is the negative lattice enthalpy
27
what factors affect lattice enthalpy?
size of charges, physical size of ions
28
why does larger charges mean larger lattice enthalpy?
because there is greater attraction so more energy is needed per mole to separate into ions
29
why does larger size of the ions mean lower lattice enthalpy?
because there is larger separation and lower force of attraction
30
what is enthalpy change of solution?
the change in energy when one mole of a substance is dissolved in a larger excess of a pure solvent
31
what does enthalpy change of a solution being exothermic or endothermic depend on?
size of lattice enthalpy and size of hydration enthalpy
32
what is change in enthalpy of hydration?
change in enthalpy when one mole of gaseous ions are added to water to form a dilute solution
33
what is entropy?
measure of the disorder/dispersal of energy in a system
34
what are the units for entropy?
J per kelvin per mole
35
what must be considered when predicting changes in entropy?
state changes, temp changes, change in number of particles, mixing of particles
36
how can the change in entropy of a system be calculated?
the sum of the enthalpy of the products minus the some of the entropy of the reactants
37
what must the change in enthalpy of the system and surroundings add up to?
a number greater than zero because entropy of universe must always increase
38
why are exothermic reactions more common than endothermic ones in terms of entropy?
because entropy is increasing as energy is released
39
how can rates of reaction be measured?
changes in volume of gas produced, changes in mass, changes in colour, changes in concentration, changes in conductivity, change in pH,
