Question

The Born Haber cycle below represents the energy changes occurring at 298K when KH is formed from its elements
v : ΔHatomisation K = 90 kJ/mol
w : ΔHionisation K = 418 kJ/mol
x : ΔHdissociation H = 436 kJ/mol
y : ΔHelectronaffinity H = 78 kJ/mol
z : ΔHlattice KH = 710 kJ/mol
In terms of the letters v to z the expression for
ΔHelectronaffinity of H is ΔHelectronaffinity is __.

Solution

The correct option is D y
The electron affinity ΔHelectronaffinity of an atom or molecule is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion. It is exothermic as heat energy is released from the system.

ΔHelectronaffinity should be y not y/2.
