Here are my revision notes for the Thermodynamics section of the course.
Feel free to check out my other computer typed notes for parts of the 2nd year course on here.
I also have hand written notes of matching quality for pretty much the rest of the course (1st and 2nd year) if you're interest...

Enthalpy of Combustion – Enthalpy change when one mole of a
substance undergoes complete combustion in oxygen with all Exothermic • The reaction takes place over several steps
2nd IE(Ca)
substances in their standard state, and the reaction done • The original reactants need to form a gas so
under standard conditions require ∆H of atomization of each element 2nd EA (O)

Enthalpy of Neutralisation – Enthalpy change when one mole of water is • Then IE is needed to form the ions (x2) ∆Hatm (O) ∆Hlef(CaO)
Exothermic • Formation of the lattice (x1)
formed in a reaction between an acid and alkali under
standard conditions • This can be represented by a Born Haber cycle ∆Hatm (Ca)
Ionisation Enthalpy – 1st IE = enthalpy when an atom loses an e in the Endothermic ∆Hf

interact with each other
Electron Affinity – 1st EA = enthalpy when an atom gains an e to form Exothermic
one mole of gaseous 1- ions Ionic Bonding is important – attraction between ions When a solid ionic lattice

Enthalpy of Atomisation – Enthalpy when one mole of gaseous atoms is Physical lattice enthalpy of formation, easily made from the ions
produced from its elements in standard states Endothermic lattice enthalpy of dissociation
