Solution

The correct option is A -124 kJ/mol

Born-Haber Cycle

It is a series of steps (chemical processes) used to calculate the lattice energy of ionic solids, which is difficult to determine experimentally. You can think of BH cycle as a special case of Hess's law which states that the overall energy change in a chemical process can be calculated by breaking down the process into several steps and adding the energy change from each step.

ΔHr=2 × 90 + 2 × 418 + 436 - 2 × 78 - 2 × 710
ΔHr= 124kJ/mole
