I'll be doing revision quizzes every week. I'll post the questions and people can p.m. me with their answers this week and i'll give you a score. The winner will get rep. Good luck!
Whether you're doing unit 4 in jan revision or studying for synoptic, try not to cheat!
Topic today is energetics.
1) Define the term lattice energy.
(3 marks)2) Define the term enthalpy of atomisation
(2 marks)3) Define the term enthalpy of hydration
(3 marks)4) Construct an ionic equation to show the lattice energy of an ionic solid MX where M is a cation and X is an anion with charges of +1 and -1 respectively.
(2 marks)5) Why do lattice energy values differ for some compounds when calculated using the Born-Haber cycle and a purely ionic model?
(2 marks)6) State two factors which affect the lattice energy of an ionic solid.
(2 marks)7) Why is lattice energy and hydration energy exothermic?
(1 mark)8) Express enthalpy of solution in terms of lattice energy and the hydration enthalpies of the ions.
(2 marks)9) Explain in terms of the hydration enthalpy of ions and lattice energy and your answer to 8) why the solubility of hydroxides increases down the group and why the solubility of sulphates decreases down the group.
(6 marks)10) Would you expect enthalpy of atomisation of potassium to be more or less endothermic than lithium. Why?
(2 marks)Total =
25 marks.I'll post marks by next Thursday. Thanks!
