Solution

The correct option is B 719 kJmol1
K(s)K(g);ΔHsub=89 kJmol1

12Cl2(g)Cl(g);BDE2=2442=122 kJmol1

K(g)K+(g); IE=425 kJmol1

Cl(gCl(g); EA=355 kJmol1

K(s)+12Cl2(g)KCl(s); ΔH0f=438 kJmol1

According to Born-Haber cycle
H0f=ΔHsub+BDE2+IE+EA+U
438=89+122+425355+U
U=719 kJmol1

hence, lattice energy of KCl = 719 kJmol1
