    Study Notes

    Electron Affinity of Oxygen

    • The second electron affinity of oxygen is endothermic.
    • Adding a second electron to the negatively charged O− ion requires energy to overcome electron-electron repulsion.

    Born–Haber Cycle

    • An essential energy cycle used to calculate the lattice energy of ionic solids.
    • Lattice energy cannot be directly measured; instead, it relates to several enthalpy changes during ionic solid formation.
    • Key enthalpy changes involved include ionization energy, electron affinity, and enthalpy change of formation.
    • The cycle illustrates energy changes through gaseous ions and atoms to solid ionic compounds.

    Methods for Calculating Enthalpy Changes (ΔH)

    • Calorimetry: Experimental method utilizing temperature change and mass to compute ΔH.
    • Bond Energies: Values obtained from data booklets; typically used for simple covalent reactants and products.
    • Hess’ Law: Involves drawing energy cycles, like Born–Haber cycles, to calculate ΔH indirectly.

    Calorimeter Usage

    • A calorimeter is used to measure enthalpy changes during reactions.
    • The insulated design minimizes heat loss to the surroundings.

    Instant Cold Packs

    • Commonly contain ammonium nitrate, which undergoes an endothermic dissolution reaction.
    • The process absorbs heat, making the pack cold, useful for treating injuries in situations where ice isn't available.

    Worked Example of Born–Haber Cycle Calculation

    • Illustration of calculating lattice energy using given enthalpy values for reactions involving calcium fluoride.
    • The equation requires balancing energy changes to find unknown lattice energies based on Hess’ Law.

    Energy Level Diagrams

    • Alternative representation for reactions in Born–Haber cycles.
    • Utilizes enthalpy changes of atomization and electron affinity to calculate the lattice energy of compounds.

    Summary of Methods for Finding Enthalpy Change

    • Calorimetry requires temperature change (ΔT) and mass, with the formula:
      • ΔH = - (m * c * ΔT)
    • Understanding these methods is crucial for thermal calculations in chemical processes.
