Enthalpy change

A heat change during a physical or chemical change at constant pressure

1 of 19

Standard enthalpy change

the enthalpy change per mole at a specified temperature (usually 298K) and a pressure of 100kPa with all substances being in their standard states

2 of 19

Standard State

The standard state of a substance at a given temperature is its pure most stable form at 100kPa

3 of 19

Standrad enthalpy of atomisation

the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from the element in its standard state under standard conditions

4 of 19

First ionisation energy

the standard enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is converted into a mole of gaseous ions each with a single positive charge

5 of 19

Second ionisation energy

refers to the loss of a mole of electrons from a mole of singly positively charged ions

6 of 19

First electron affinity

The standard enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous atoms is converted into a mole of gaseous ions each with a single neagtive charge

7 of 19

Second electron affinity

the ethalpy change when one mole of electrons is added to a mole of gaseous ions each with a single negative charge to form ions each with two negative charges 

8 of 19

Lattice formation enthalpy

the enthalpy change when one mole of a solid ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions

9 of 19

Enthalpy of lattice dissociation

the enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic compound separates into its gaseous ions

10 of 19

Enthalpy of hydration

the standard enthalpy change when water molecues surround one mole of gaseous ions

11 of 19

Enthalpy of solution

the standard enthalpy change when one mole of a solute dissolved completely in sufficient solvent to form a solution in which the molecules or ions are far enough apart not to interact with each other

12 of 19

Bond dissociation enthalpy

the enthalpy change that accompanies the breaking of a covalent bond in a gaseous molecule to form two gaseous free radicals, averaged over a range of compounds

13 of 19

The mean bond enthalpy

the average of several values of the bond dissociation enthalpy for a given type of bond, taken from a range of different compounds

14 of 19

A spontaneous or feasible reaction

one that has natural tendency to occur without being driven by external influences

15 of 19

The transition metals

elements that have an incomplete d- (or f-) sub energy level either in the element or one of its ions

16 of 19

A ligand

An atom, ion or molecule that can form one or more co-ordinate bond with a metal ion by donating one or more lone pair of electrons

17 of 19

A catalyst

a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being change at the end of the reaction. it does this by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy

18 of 19

Lewis Acid/Base

Lewis Acid- An electron pair acceptor

Lewis Base- An electron pair donor
