- The greatest work done in a process that occurs reversibly
- The lattice enthalpy indicates how strongly bonded the atoms in a solid are
- Standard molar entropies are always for a gas than a liquid and increase with the increasing complexity of a substance
- The larger an acid's pKa, the stronger the acid
- Since Cpm = Cvm + R, the molar heat capacity of an ideal gas is greater at constant volume than at constant pressure
- The larger the value of pKa, the stronger the acid
- Increasing pressure and decreasing volume isothermally decreases the entropy
- The Gibbs free energy of a process is a measure of the total amount of non-expansion work a process can do at a constant pressure and temperature
- An isolated system can only exchange energy with its surroundings and a closed system cannot exchange anything with its surroundings
- Standard reaction enthalpies are for reactions at 1 bar and 25C at standard pressure and temperature
- The measured potential of a cell is independent of the concentrations of the reagents
- The Born-Haber cycle allows you to find unknown values of a thermodynamic process by knowing other values in the process
- Nuclear fusion results in elements with higher atomic numbers than the initial elements
- At the boiling point, adding additional heat to a system does not raise the temperature
- The magnitude of the cell potential depends on how the reaction is written
- Iron and nickel have the highest nuclear binding energies per nucleon
- The wavelength d -d transitions in transition metal complexes can be correlated with the magnitude of the ligand field splitting
- In general, only the lighter elements emit alpha particles
- pH refers to the H30+ concentration in water, and has no relationship with pOH
- The equipartition theorem works better for gas phase molecules than for liquid phase molecules
