3e. A-Level Chemistry (Thermodynamics)

We’ll cover thermodynamics, including Born-Haber cycles, key “enthalpy of” definitions, lattice and hydration enthalpies, and calorimetry calculations (q=mcΔT,Δneut=−mcΔT)(q = mc\Delta T, \Delta_\text{neut} = -mc\Delta T)(q=mcΔT,Δneut​=−mcΔT). The focus will be on understanding factors affecting lattice enthalpy and applying these concepts to the hardest exam questions.
