What factors affect the lattice enthalpy of an ionic solid?

We must remember that negative energies (in any context) generally represent energetically stable configurations and as the energy of a system increases, it will become more unstable.

Firstly, ioni...

Q3. A third beaker, C, contains 100.0 cm^3 of 0.0125 mol/dm^3 ethanoic acid ( Ka = 1.74 × 10^−5 mol/dm^3 at 25 ºC). Write an expression for Ka and use it to calculate the pH of the ethanoic acid solution in beaker C.

A3.   Ethanoic acid is a weak acid with the formula CH3COOH. It will dissociate into H+ and CH3COO- therefore the expression for Ka is [H+][CH3COO-]/[CH3COOH]   The [H+] = [CH3COO-] and so the expression ...

Q2. Calculate the pH of the solution formed after 50.0 cm^3 of 0.0108 mol/dm^3 aqueous sodium hydroxide are added to beaker B. Give your answer to 2 decimal places

A2.   First thing to work out is the moles of NaOH added, since moles = concentration x volume, = 0.0108 mol/dm^3 x 50ml, but need volume to be in units of Litres to match with the units of dm^3 so the fo...
