Enthalpy change
What is enthalpy change of atomisation?
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous atom is formed from its elements
under standard conditions. (its elements is its original form)
Endothermic (Positive enthalpy)




Ch 23: Chemical Energetics & Entropy 1

, H2 (g) − − > 2H (g)





What is enthalpy change of lattice energy?
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic compound is formed from its
gaseous ions under standard conditions.
Exothermic (Negative, high enthalpy)

+ −
Na (g) + C l (g) − − > N aCl(s)



What are trends in lattice energy & how it it be determined?
The more negative the value, the more stable its ionic compound over
gaseous ion.
—> Need many experiments (requires energy cycle)

What is first electron affinity & successive affinities?
>First: Enthalpy change when 1 mole of electrons is added to 1 mole of
gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous ions each with a single negative
charge under standard conditions.
Usually exothermic (usually negative): stronger attraction, higher
exothermic

>Second, third: Formation with 2- and 3- charges, usually endothermic
Why? incoming electron added to negative ion, energy required to
overcome repulsive forces




What are factors affecting electron affinity?

1. Nuclear charge: The greater the nuclear charge, the stronger the
attractive forces between incoming electron and nucleus
