The total enthalpy change of reaction is the same independent of the route taken - conservation of energy
Standard Lattice enthalpy
The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic lattice from its gaseous ions under standard conditions and states
Lattice enthalpy is a measurement of...
Ionic bond strength
The more exothermic a lattice enthalpy value...
The stronger the ionic bond - more energy released when ionic lattice is made
What effects lattice enthalpy?
Ionic size - smaller radii means a higher charge density, the ions can also sit closer together meaning electrostatic attraction is stronger so more negative/exothermic lattice enthalpy value
Ionic charge - the higher the charge on the ions, the stronger the electrostatic attraction and therefore the more exothermic the lattice enthalpy value
What 2 things happen when an ionic lattice dissolves in water?
The bonds between the ions break as the ionic lattice dissociates - this is the opposite of lattice enthalpy and is endothermic
Bonds form between gaseous ions and water. This is exothermic and the enthalpy change here is called the enthalpy of hydration
The enthalpy change of solution is the overall effect on the enthalpy of lattice dissociation and enthalpy of hydration ( what happens when an ionic lattice dissolves)

F) Ionic lattice
Substances are more energetically stable when...
They are more disordered
What is it called when a substance reaches maximum entropy state (lowest energy state)?
Thermodynamically stable
The standard entropy change of a substance is...
The entropy change of one mole of a substance under standard conditions. Standard entropies are always positive.
Feasibility table
When enthalpy change is negative and entropy change is positive = negative free energy change at any temp so always feasible
When enthalpy change is positive and entropy change is negative = positive free energy change at any temp so never feasible
When enthalpy change is negative and entropy change is negative = negative free energy change but only at low temperatures
When enthalpy change is positive and entropy change is positive = negative free energy change but only at high temperatures
