what will the trend of lattice energy, enthalpy of hydration and the enthalpy change of solution be like if I look down the group. Please use more or less exothermic or endothermic, and explain

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

@amistre64 Do you know about this?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i havent a clue ...

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

I've looked at the Internet, but the pages just make me more confused

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the only thing i might vaguely recall about chemistry is balancing out a reaction equation ... but even that is a bit foggy

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

Ok' I'll ask you more about math, then

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

Do you know Sb. who's good at chem? people who use Open, ofcuz

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

@asmagul Hey,there. could you please give me hand with this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im looking at this and wait i will explain u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The lattice energies become less exothermic as the group is descended · The hydration energies of the cations become less exothermic down the group as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore, the change in ΔH solution down the group is determined by which quantity (ΔH lattice or hydration enthalpies of the ions) shows the greater decrease.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The entropy of the hydrated ion increases as the ionic radius increases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As the ΔH solution becomes more exothermic down the group, ΔS° (surroundings) becomes more positive down the group, which favors solubility.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There’s a greater change in the hydration enthalpies of the cations than that of the lattice energy. Therefore, the ΔH solution becomes less exothermic down the group.

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

It is said that the value of delta(H) solution depends on the size of the anion How so?

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

we hav't learn about delta S, so please don't confuse me with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets take an example so you can understand by this by keeping periodic table in your mind.........The OH- ion is similar in size to the group 2 cations. The sum of the ionic radii of both cations and the OH- increases considerably down the group as the value of the radius of the cation increases down the group. ∴ Change in ΔH lattice is greater than that of the group 2 sulfates. In addition, the sulfate ion is much larger than any of the group 2 cations. So, the sum of the ionic radii changes only by a small amount. ∴ the change in the hydration enthalpies is greater than the change in ΔH lattice of the group 2 sulfates.

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

Great!that's helpful!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

delta H is enthalpy change..we cant measure enthalpy directly so we measure change in enthalpy 4 endothermic and exothermic reactions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

delta S is solubility or enthalpy of solution

OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

wait, I'm confused, is't \[\Delta S\] change in entropy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry u r right it is entropy...i have studied it in physics...my bad habit when im studying a subject i dont relate it to others...i will change myself..hanks 4 noticing this
