Suppose a chemist discovers a new metallic element and names it "Xhaustium" (Xh).
Xh exhibits chemical behaviour similar to an alkaline earth.
Xh(s) + F₂(g) → XhF₂(s)
Lattice energy for XhF2
-2300. kJ/mol
First Ionization energy of Xh
420. kJ/mol
Second Ionization energy of Xh
714 kJ/mol
Electron affinity of F
-327.8 kJ/mol
Bond energy of F2
154 kJ/mol
Enthalpy of sublimation (atomization) of Xh
190. kJ/mol
Use the above data to calculate AH°f for Xhaustium fluoride.
