The lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound is the enthalpy when one mole of an ionic compound present in its gaseous state, dissociates into its ions. It is impossible to determine it directly by experiment. Suggest and explain an indirect method to measure lattice enthalpy of NaCI_((s)). |
|
Answer» Solution :The lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound is the enthalpy change which occurs when one mole of an ionic compound dissociates into its IONS in gaseous STATE. For the reaction, `Na^(+) CI_((s))^(-) to Na_((g))^(+) + CI_((g))^(-) , Delta_("lattice") H^( Theta ) = + 788 "kJ mol"^(-1)` It is IMPOSSIBLE to determine lattice enthalpies directly by experiment, we use an INDIRECT method where we construct an enthalpy diagram called a Born-Haber cycle. Let us now calculate the lattice enthalpy of `Na^(+) CI_((s))^(-)` by following steps given below (I) `Na_((s))^(+) to Na_((g))`, Sublimation of sodium metal, `Delta_("sub") H^( Theta ) = 108.4 "kJ mol"^(-1)` (ii) `Na_((g)) to Na_((g))^(+) +e_((g))^(-)`, The ionization of sodium atoms, ionization enthalpy `Delta_(i) H^( Theta ) = 497 "kJ mol"^(-1)` (iii) `(1)/(2) CI_(2(g)) to CI_((g)) ,` The dissociation of chlorine, the reaction enthalpy is half the bond dissociation enthalpy `(1)/(2) Delta_("bond") H^( Theta ) = 121 "kJ mol"^(-1)` (iv) `CI_((g)) e_((g))^(-) to CI_((g))^(-)`, electron gained by chlorine atoms. The electron gain enthalpy, `Delta_(eg) H^( Theta ) = -348.6 "kJ mol"^(-1)` (v) `Na_((g))^(+) + CI_((g))^(-) to Na^(+) CI_((s))^(-)` The sequence of steps is shown in given figure and is known as Born-Haber cycle. The importance of the cycle is that, the sum of the enthalpy changes round a cycle is zero. Applying Hess.s law, we get `Delta_("lattice") H^( Theta ) = 411.2 + 1084 + 121 + 496 - 3486` `Delta_("lattice") H^( Theta ) = + 788 "kJ"` |

Answer» Solution :Suppose the solubility of `Ca(OH)_(2)` in saturated solution is S mol `L^(-1)`. `{:(Ca(OH)_(2),hArr,Ca^(2+),+,2OH^(-),),(,,S,,2S,):}` `K_(sp) ` of `Ca(OH)_(2) hArr [Ca^(2+) ] [ OH^(-)]^(2)` `4.42xx10^(-5) = S xx (2S)^(2) = 4S^(3)` or`S=((4.42xx10^(-5))/(4))^(1//3) = 0.223 ` mol `L^(-1)` After mixing the two solutions, total volume becomes = 500 + 500 = 100 mL Now, concentration will be `[Ca^(2+) ] = (0.0223)/(1000) xx 500 = 0.01115 ` mol `L^(-1)` `{:([OH^(-)]=(0.0223xx2xx500)/(1000)+(0.4xx500)/(1000)=0.2223 " mol "L^(-1)),(""["From"Ca(OH)_(2)]"" ["From" NAOH]):}` On ADDING NaOH solution to saturated solution of `Ca(OH)_(2)` some `Ca(OH)_(2)` will be precipitated (DUE to common ion effect). Now, as `Ca^(2+)` ion left are still present in the left out saturated solution, `[ Ca^(2+) ] _("left") [OH^(-)]^(2) = K_(sp)` `:. [Ca^(2+) ]_("left") = (K_(sp))/([OH^(-)]^(2))=(4.42xx10^(-5))/((0.2223)^(2))=8.94xx10^(-4)` mol `L^(-1)` Moles of `Ca(OH)_(2)` precipitated = Moles of `Ca^(2+)` ions precipitated `= [Ca^(2+) ] _("initial")-[Ca^(2+)]_("left")` `=0.01115-8.94xx10^(-4) = 111.5xx10^(-4) - 8.94xx10^(-4) = 102.56xx10^(-4)` moles `=102.56xx10^(-4) xx 74 g = 7589.44 xx 10^(-4) g = 758.944 ` mg Initial `[Ca(OH)_(2)] = 0.01115 ` mol `L^(-1) = 111.5xx10^(-4) ` mol `L^(-1)` `Ca(OH)_(2)` precipitated `= 102.56xx10^(-4) ` mol `L^(-1)` `:. ` % `Ca(OH)_(2)` precipitated `= (Ca(OH)_(2)"precipitated")/("Initial conc. ")xx100=(102.56xx10^(-4))/(111.5xx10^(-4))xx100=91.98% = 92 %` Note. The above example illustrates the method of calculation of amount precipitated and amount left after precipitation when to a saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt present in excess, some solution containing a common ion is added . |
