The lattice energy of sodium chloride can be calculated using the following enthalpy changes: Enthalpy change
Question:
The lattice energy of sodium chloride can be calculated using the following enthalpy changes:
■ Enthalpy change of formation of sodium chloride
■ Enthalpy changes of atomisation of sodium and chlorine
■ 1st ionisation energy of sodium
■ 1st electron affinity of chlorine.
a. State the meaning of the terms:
i. First ionisation energy
ii. Enthalpy change of atomisation.
b. Draw and label a Born–Haber cycle to calculate the lattice energy of sodium chloride.
c. Explain why the lattice energy of sodium chloride has a value that is lower than the lattice energy of lithium chloride.
