Discussing the difference between theoretically and experimentally derived lattice energies 15.2.4 HL5-9.ppt
So far we’ve learned that although lattice enthalpy cannot be directly measured, it can be determined in two ways: • Theoretically using equations like this one • ΔHlat˚=(Knm)/(RMn+ + RXm-) • Experimentally using Born Haber Cycles • Hlat = Hf – (Hatom(for both Na and Cl)+ Hi+ He) • Once again, the epic struggle between man’s mind and the universe that it lives in...
Q – What does Empirical Mean? All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
A – Experimentally based! All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
Q – Does the Born-Haber Model agree with the ionic model? All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
A – Generally the agreement is good All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
Q – Deduce the relationship between the ionic/covalent nature of a bond and the agreement between the models. All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
A – The more ionic in nature a bond is, the more agreement there is. Compounds that are more covalent in nature have higher empirical values. All values are for ΔHlat˚ in kJmol- % Diff = (Emp-Theo)/Emp
Summing up • Usually there is good agreement between empirical and theoretical values • If there isn’t good agreement: • It implies that the description of the compound as ionic is inappropriate • There could be a significant degree of covalent character in the bonding (EN difference less than 1.7) • Presence of covalent character leads to an increase in ΔHolat
