Question

Set up a thermodynamic cycle for determining the enthalpy of hydration of Ca2+ ions using the following data:
Enthalpy of sublimation of Ca(s),+178.2kJ mol1, first and second ionization enthalpies of Ca(g),589.7kJ mol1 and 1145kJ mol1; enthalpy of vaporization of bromine, +30.91kJ mol1; dissociation enthalpy of Br2(g),+192.9kJ mol1; electron gain enthalpy of Br(g),331.0kJ mol1; enthalpy of solution of CaBr2(s),103.1kJ mol1; enthalpy of hydration of Br(g),337kJ mol1 (only magnitude in nearest integer in kj/mol).

Solution

Hydration of Ca+2
R:Ca+2(g)Ca+2(aq.);ΔH
Given
sublimation of Ca(s)
R1:Ca(s)Ca(g);ΔH1=+178.2kJmol1
First ionization
R2:Ca(g)Ca+(g);ΔH2=+589.7kJmol1
Second Ionization
R3:Ca+(g)Ca2+(g);ΔH3=+1145kJmol1
Vaporization of bromine (Bromine exits as diatomic liquid)
R4:Br2(l)Br2(g);ΔH4=+30.91kJmol1
Dissociation of Br2
R5:Br2(g)2Br(g);ΔH5=+192.9kJmol1
Electron gain by Br
R6:Br(g)Br(g);ΔH6=331.0kJmol1
Hydration of Br
R7:Br(g)Br(aq.);ΔH7=337.0kJmol1
Dissolution of CaBr2(s)
R8:CaBr2(s)Ca+2(aq.)+2Br(aq.);ΔH8=103.1kJmol1
Formation of CaBr2
R9:Ca(s)+Br2(l)CaBr2(s);ΔH9=683kJmol1
Now
R=R1+R2+R3+R4+R5+2R6+2R7R8R9
R=R1R2R3R4R52R62R7+R8+R9
ΔH=ΔH1ΔH2ΔH3ΔH4ΔH52ΔH62ΔH7+ΔH8+ΔH9
ΔH=178.2589.7114530.91192.9+2×331.0+2×337.0103.1683=1587.19kJmol1
Answer = 1587
