Study Notes
Enthalpy of Reaction Calculations
- Enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) can be calculated by considering the bonds broken and formed in the reaction
- ΔH = ΣDbonds broken - ΣDbonds formed
- This method provides a rough estimate, not an exact value, due to the average bond energy values used
Calculating Enthalpy Change (ΔH)
- ΔH = ΣDbonds broken - ΣDbonds formed
- Example: H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
- Bonds broken: 1 H-H bond (436 kJ/mol) and 1 Cl-Cl bond (243 kJ/mol)
- Bonds formed: 2 H-Cl bonds (432 kJ/mol)
- ΔH = (436 + 243) - (2 x 432) = -185 kJ/mol (exothermic reaction)
Lattice Energy (ΔHlattice)
- Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid into its gaseous ions
- ΔHlattice is a measure of the stability of an ionic compound
