Some chemistry textbooks [3] as well as the widely used CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics [4] define lattice energy with the opposite sign, i.e. as the energy required to convert the crystal into infinitely separated gaseous ions in vacuum, an endothermic process. Following this convention, the lattice energy of NaCl would be +786 kJ/mol.
Hydration energy is one component in the quantitative analysis of solvation. It is a particular special case of water. [1] The value of hydration energies is one of the most challenging aspects of structural prediction. [2] Upon dissolving a salt in water, the cations and anions interact with the positive and negative dipoles of the water.
Water of crystallization can generally be removed by heating a sample but the crystalline properties are often lost. Compared to inorganic salts, proteins crystallize with large amounts of water in the crystal lattice. A water content of 50% is not uncommon for proteins.
z + = charge number of cation; z − = charge number of anion; e = elementary charge, 1.6022 × 10 −19 C; ε 0 = permittivity of free space 4 π ε 0 = 1.112 × 10 −10 C 2 /(J·m) r 0 = distance to closest ion; ρ = a constant dependent on the compressibility of the crystal; 30 pm works well for all alkali metal halides
The Born–Landé equation is a means of calculating the lattice energy of a crystalline ionic compound.In 1918 [1] Max Born and Alfred Landé proposed that the lattice energy could be derived from the electrostatic potential of the ionic lattice and a repulsive potential energy term.
The calculated lattice energy gives a good estimation for the Born–Landé equation; the real value differs in most cases by less than 5%. Furthermore, one is able to determine the ionic radii (or more properly, the thermochemical radius) using the Kapustinskii equation when the lattice energy is known.
H + ions diffusing in an O 2-lattice of superionic ice. In condensed matter physics, lattice diffusion (also called bulk or volume diffusion) refers to atomic diffusion within a crystalline lattice, [1] which occurs by either interstitial or substitutional mechanisms.
A sodium ion solvated by water molecules. Solvations describes the interaction of a solvent with dissolved molecules. Both ionized and uncharged molecules interact strongly with a solvent, and the strength and nature of this interaction influence many properties of the solute, including solubility, reactivity, and color, as well as influencing the properties of the solvent such as its ...
