Define standard enthalpy of combustion. | The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states. |
Define standard enthalpy of formation. | The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is produced from its constituent elements under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states. |
Define the Perfect Ionic Model. | A mathematical calculation of the lattice formation enthalpy of a compound, which assumes that the positive and negative ions are perfectly spherical and that there is no covalent character in the compound. |
State Hess's Law | The enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states of the reaction and is independent of the route by which the reaction occurs. |
What are standard conditions? | A standard pressure of 100 kPa and 298K |
What is entropy? | A measure of disorder |
What is the entropy change? | The change in disorder of a system. An increase in disorder produces a positive entropy change. |

Why is the lattice enthalpy of magnesium oxide so much greater than that of sodium chloride | "because in magnesium oxide, 2+ ions are attracting 2- ions; in sodium chloride, the attraction is only between 1+ and 1- ions. |
" Why does the lattice enthalpy of the group 1 metal chlorides decrease down the group | "Attractions are governed by the distances between the centres of the oppositely charged ions, and that distance is greater as the positive ion gets bigger. |
" Explain the relationship between charge density of the ions in an ionic lattice and the degree of covalent character of the bonding. | The greater the charge density of the ions the greater the covalent charater in the lattice because the greater the degree of polarisation of the anion by the cation. |
How can you tell from looking at actual and theoretical lattice enthalpy data that a particular ionic compund has a significant degree of covalent character | The actual lattice enthalpy will be greater than the theoretical lattice enthalpy. The greater the difference the greater the degree of covalent character. |

State the equation that links Free energy, enthalpy and entropy | "ΔG = ΔH - TΔS |
"What is the value of ΔG for a system at equilibirum | 0 |
What is the most likely reason that a reaction with a negative value of ΔG does not occur. | The activation energy of the reaction is too high. |
"Calculate the entropy change when water turns to steam at 100°C (373K). Include the correct units for for entropy. The enthalpy of vaporisation of water is +44 kJ mol-1 | " " + 118 J K -1 mol -1 |
"For this reactions state and explain the sign of ΔH and ΔS and hence ΔG C6H12(l) + 9O2(g) —> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) | " " ΔS is positive due to increase in number of molecules ΔH is negative as combustion is exothermic Taking a +ive value away from a –ive value must give a –ive value ΔG must be NEGATIVE so the reaction is feasible |
"This reaction is exothermic. Explain why it will only be feasible at low temperature. NH3(g) + HCl(g) —> NH4Cl(s) | " ΔS is negative due to the reduction in gas molecules. So ΔG will only be negative at low temperature because only at low temperature will -TΔS be less positive than ΔH is negative |
