Question

Calculate the electron affinity of fluorine atom using the following data (only magnitude in nearest integer in kj/mol).
All the values are in kJ mol1 at 25oC, ΔHdiss(F2)=160; ΔHor (NaF(s))=571; I.E [Na(g)]=494, ΔHvap[Na(s)]=101. Lattice energy of NaF(s)=894.

Solution

From Born-Hyber cycle in the diagram,
ΔHof=ΔHovap,Na(s)+12ΔHodis,F+I.ENa+E.AF+L.ENaF
On simplifying
E.AF=ΔHofΔHovap,Na(s)12ΔHodis,FI.ENaL.ENaF
E.AF=57110112×160494+894=352kJ/mol
