Question

Calculate the lattice enthalpy of CaCl2 , given that :
Enthalpy of sublimation for Ca(s) Ca(g) = 121 kJ mol1
Enthalpy of dissociation of Cl2(g) 2Cl(g) =242.8 kJ mol1
Ionisation energy of
Ca(g) Ca++(g) =2422 kJ mol1
Electron gain enthalpy of 2Cl 2Cl1=(2×355) kJ mol1=710 kJ mol1
Enthalpy of formation of CaCl2=795 kJ mol1

Solution

The correct option is C 2870.8 kJ mol1
Lattice energy can be Born Haber cycle if the enthalpies are known.

We are given,
Ca(s)Ca (g); ΔsubH=121 kJ mol1

Cl2(g)2Cl (g) ;ΔClClH=242.8 kJ mol1

Ca (g)Ca++(g)+2e1;IE=2422 kJ mol1

2Cl(g)+2e12Cl1(g);ΔegH=(2×355) kJ mol1=710 kJ mol1

Ca++ (g) +2Cl1 (g)CaCl2 (s);ΔlatticeH=? kJ mol1

ΔH0f=795 kJ mol1

According to Born Haber cycle
ΔH0f=ΔHsub+ΔClClH+IE+ΔegH+ΔlatticeH

putting all the values,
795=121+242.8+2422710+ΔlatticeHΔlatticeH=2870.8 kJ mol1


the lattice enthalpy of CaCl2 is 2870 kJ mol1
