The electron affinity of oxygen is -141 kJ/mol, corresponding to the reaction O(g) + e^- → O^-(g). The lattice energy of K₂O(s) is 2238 kJ/mol. Use these data along with data in Appendix C and Figure 7.11 to calculate the 'second electron affinity' of oxygen, corresponding to the reaction O^-(g) + e^-→ O^2-(g)

Identify the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of K2O(s) from its elements in their standard states.

Write the equation for the formation of K2O(s) from K(s) and O2(g), and break it down into steps: sublimation of K(s), ionization of K(g), dissociation of O2(g), electron affinity of O(g), and lattice energy of K2O(s).

Use Hess's Law to relate the enthalpy changes of these steps to the overall enthalpy change for the formation of K2O(s).

Set up the equation using the given data: lattice energy of K2O(s), first electron affinity of O(g), and other necessary values from Appendix C and Figure 7.11.

Solve for the unknown, which is the second electron affinity of oxygen, by rearranging the equation and substituting the known values.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Electron Affinity

Electron affinity is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom in the gas phase, forming a negatively charged ion. A negative value indicates that energy is released during this process, making it favorable. For oxygen, the first electron affinity is -141 kJ/mol, meaning energy is released when an electron is added to form O<sup>-</sup>.

Lattice Energy

Lattice energy is the amount of energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid. It is a measure of the strength of the forces between the ions in an ionic compound. In the case of K<sub>2</sub>O, the lattice energy of 2238 kJ/mol indicates the energy required to separate the ions in the solid into gaseous ions, which is crucial for understanding the stability of the ionic compound.

Second Electron Affinity

The second electron affinity refers to the energy change associated with adding a second electron to a negatively charged ion, forming a doubly charged anion. This process is generally endothermic, meaning it requires energy input, as the negatively charged ion repels the incoming electron. For oxygen, calculating the second electron affinity involves considering the energy changes from both the first electron affinity and the lattice energy of the resulting ionic compound.
