  • Entropy & Free Energy
    • factors affecting lattice enthalpy
      • size of the ion/ ionic radius
        • as the charge of the ion increases, the value of the lattice enthalpy becomes less exothermic
          • because there's less attraction between ions
          • the larger the ion, the smaller the charge density
    • entropy
      • tells you how much disorder there is
        • gases have the most disorder- have the highest entropy
        • solids have the least disorder/ more order- lowest entropy
      • calculating entropy changes
        • ^S= S products- S reactants
    • free energy change
      • ^G=^H-T^S
        • T= ^H/ ^S
      • measure used to predict whether a reaction is feasible
        • if ^G is - or = 0, reaction is feasible
      • effect of temperature
        • if a reaction is endothermic with ^S= -, ^G= +
          • reactions not feasible at any temp.
        • reaction is exothermic, with ^S= +, ^G= -
          • reactions = feasible at any temp.
        • ^H =+, ^S= +, reaction only feasible at certain temps.
    • factors that affect the enthalpy of hydration
      • ionic charge
        • as charge increases, value of enthalpy of hydration becomes more exothermic
        • due to increased attraction between ions & water molecules
      • size of the ion
        • as ionic radius increases, enthalpy of hydration  becomes less exothermic
        • the larger the ion, the smaller the charge density
        • less attraction between ions & water molecules
        • ^H hyd of Mg 2+ = more exothermic than Ca2+
          • Mg2+ has a larger ionic radius & greater charge density
            • greater attraction between Mg2+ & water molecules
    • factors affecting enthalpy change of solution
      • temperature
        • affects entropy of system
        • at 0, solids have 0 entropy, solid heated up to gas, substance has increasing entropy
      • dissolving
        • entropy increases
      • producing gases
        • metal + acid -entropy increases (H2 being produced)
