Question

Calculate the enthalpy of formation of MgF2 from thefollowing data-
Enthalpy of sublimation for Mg(s)Mg(g)=146.4 kJmol1
Enthalpy of dissociation of F2(g)2F(g)=155.8 kJmol1
Ionisation energy of Mg(g)Mg2+(g)=2186 kJmol1
Electron gain enthalpy of 2F2F1=2×322.6=645.2 kJmol1
Lattice enthalpy of MgF2=2922.5 kJmol1

Solution

The correct option is A 1079.5 kJmol1
Mg(s)Mg(g); ΔHsub=146.4 kJmol1

F2(g)2F(g); BDE=155.8 kJmol1

Mg(g)Mg2+(g); IE=2186 kJmol1

2F(g)+2e2F(g); EA=2×322.6=645.2 kJmol1

Mg(s)+F2(g)MgF2(s); ΔfH=2922.5 kJmol1

According to Born-Haber cycle
ΔfH=ΔHsub+BDE+IE+EA+U
ΔfH=146.4+155.8+2186645.22922.5
ΔfH=1079.5 kJmol1
hence, enthalpy of formation of MgF2=1079.5 kJmol1
