Question

Calculate enthalpy of formation of NaCl2 from the following data using Born-Haber Cycle
Heat of sublimation of Na        =    109 kJ/mol
1st IE of Na                              =    494 kJ/mol
1st IE of Na+                            =    4563 kJ/mol
Bond Energy of Cl2                 =    242 kJ/mol
Electron gain enthalpy of Cl    =    –347 kJ/mol
Lattice energy of NaCl2           =    2560 kJ/mol

Solution


ΔHf°=s+(IE1+IE2)+DCl2+2+ΔHe.g.+U
         = 109 + (494 + 4563) + 242 + [2 × (–347)] – 2560
         = 2154 kJ/mol
