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
