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.
