Chapter 4, Problem 4E.1AST

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The lattice enthalpy of calcium chloride has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Born-Haber Cycle:

Born Haber cycle is a cycle of enthalpy change of process that leads to the formation of a solid crystalline ionic compound from the elemental atoms in their standard state and of the enthalpy of formation of the solid compound such that the net enthalpy becomes zero.

The lattice enthalpy is given by,

  ${\text{ΔH}}_{\text{L}}{\text{=H}}_{\text{m}}\left(\text{ions,g}\right){\text{-H}}_{\text{m}}\left(\text{s}\right)$
