Chapter 6, Problem 6.14A

APPLY 6.14 Calculate the energy of electrostatic attractions of L1CI(s). The following information is needed.

Heat of sublimation for Li(s) = 161 kJ/mol

E_eafor Cl(g) = −349kJ/mol

Bond dissociation energy for Cl₂(g) = 243 kJ/mol

E_ifor Li(g) = 520 kJ/mol

$\text{Li}\left(\text{s}\right)+\text{1}/{\text{2Cl}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to \text{LiCl}\left(s\right)$ = −409kJ/mol
