(a)
Interpretation:
Chemical equation given below has to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
Steps followed to obtain balanced chemical equation:
- Chemical formulas of the products and reactants are written. Individual reactants and products are separated using plus sign while the reactants are separated from products by an arrow.
- Elements that appear only once on the reactant side and product side is balanced first. Subscript should not be changed in chemical formula while balancing coefficients can be added until the total number of atoms of an element becomes equal on reactant and product side.
- Other elements present also balanced in the same way by adding balancing coefficients.
- Final check has to be performed in order to check that each element that is present in the chemical equation is balanced.
- Symbols have to be added for solids, liquids gases and aqueous solutions to indicate the physical state of the known reactants and products.

Using radii from Resource section 1 (p.901) and Born-Lande equation, calculate the lattice energy for PbS, which crystallizes in the NaCl structure. Then, use the Born-Haber cycle to obtain the value of lattice energy for PbS. You will need the following data following data: AH Pb(g) = 196 kJ/mol; AHƒ PbS = −98 kJ/mol; electron affinities for S(g)→S¯(g) is -201 kJ/mol; S¯(g) (g) is 640kJ/mol. Ionization energies for Pb are listed in Resource section 2, p.903. Remember that enthalpies of formation are calculated beginning with the elements in their standard states (S8 for sulfur). The formation of S2, AHF: S2 (g) = 535 kJ/mol. Compare the two values, and explain the difference. (8 points)arrow_forward
