Consider an ionic compound, MX,, composed of generic metal M and generic gaseous halogen X. • The enthalpy of formation of MX, is AH; = -605 kJ/mol. • The enthalpy of sublimation of M is A Hsub = 129 kJ/mol. • The first, second, and third ionization energies of M are IE, = 691 kJ/mol, IE2 = 1581 kJ/mol, and IE3 = 2627 kJ/mol. • The electron affinity of X is AHEA = -361 kJ/mol. (Refer to the hint). • The bond energy of X, is BE = 163 kJ/mol. Determine the lattice energy of MX,. kJ/mol AH attice
Electron Affinity
When an element undergoes a chemical reaction, it either gains energy or loses energy. This gain or loss of energy is due to the phenomena that occur at atomic level. During reaction, atoms either gain electrons from other atoms or lose electrons to other atoms, and in that process, energy is produced.
P-Block Elements
Elements which are present on the right side of the periodic table are called p-block elements. In addition to the noble gases, they include the families of boron, mercury, nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine. These elements have diverse real-life implementations that we regularly experience around us.
Metals and Non-metals
The periodic table is composed of metals, semi-metals and nonmetal elements. The physical and chemical properties of metals and nonmetals differ from each other. The study of metals and nonmetals will help one to understand the appropriate application of the particular element.
![### Determining the Lattice Energy of MX₃
Consider an ionic compound, MX₃, composed of a generic metal M and a generic gaseous halogen X. The given thermodynamic data includes:
- **Enthalpy of formation of MX₃ (\( \Delta H_f \))**: \(-605 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- **Enthalpy of sublimation of M (\( \Delta H_{\text{sub}} \))**: \(129 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- **Ionization energies of M**:
- First ionization energy (\( \text{IE}_1 \)): \(691 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- Second ionization energy (\( \text{IE}_2 \)): \(1581 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- Third ionization energy (\( \text{IE}_3 \)): \(2627 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- **Electron affinity of X (\( \Delta H_{\text{EA}} \))**: \(-361 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
- **Bond energy of X₂ (BE)**: \(163 \, \text{kJ/mol}\).
To determine the lattice energy (\( \Delta H_{\text{lattice}} \)) of MX₃, combine these values according to Hess's Law and the Born-Haber cycle.
\[ \Delta H_{\text{lattice}} = \text{[calculated value]} \, \text{kJ/mol} \]
### Calculation Steps
1. **Atomization of metal and nonmetal**: Convert solid M to gaseous M and dissociate X₂ to X:
- Sublimation of M.
- Half the bond energy for the dissociation of X₂.
2. **Ionization Energies**: Add up the energies required to remove electrons from M to form M³⁺.
3. **Electron Affinity**: Consider the energy change when X gains electrons.
4. **Combine**: Use these values to calculate the lattice energy through the energy conservation equation of the Born-Haber cycle.
\[ \Delta H_{\text{lattice}} = - \Delta H_f + \Delta H_{\text{sub}} + \text{IE}_1 + \text{IE}_2 + \text{IE}_3 + \Delta H_{\text{EA}} + \](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1b7ec4e2-929f-4e5a-b9e2-d730b007ea8c%2Ff8452ba1-ed9e-4674-bf34-bc11325d5d80%2F65kgxd_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
