Solution

The correct option is A $- 2090 kJ/mol$
Given,
$2 C s (s) \to 2 C s (g); Δ_{S u b} H^{o} = (+ 78 \times 2) kJ/mol$
$2 C s (g) \to 2 C s^{+}; I E = (2 \times + 375) kJ/mol$
$\frac{1}{2} O_{2} (g) \to O (g); Δ_{O - O} H^{o} = (494 \times \frac{1}{2}) kJ/mol$
$O + e^{- 1} \to O^{1 -}; E_{A 1} = - 141 kJ/mol$
$O^{1 -} + e^{- 1} \to O^{2 -}; E_{A 2} = + 845 kJ/mol$
$2 C s^{+} (g) + O_{2} (g) \to C s_{2} O (s); Δ H^{0} = - 233 kJ/mol$
Since it is impossible to determine lattice enthalpies directly by experiment, we use an indirect method where we construct an enthalpy diagram called a Born-Haber Cycle .
Let us now calculate the lattice enthalpy of $C s_{2} O$ (s) by following steps given below :
$Δ_{f} H^{0} = Δ_{S u b} H^{o} + I E + Δ_{O - O} H^{o} + E_{A 1} + E_{A 2} + Δ_{l a t t i c e} H^{o}$
$- 233 = 2 (78) + 2 (375) + \frac{494}{2} - 141 + 845 + Δ_{l a t t i c e} H^{o}$
$Δ_{lattice} H^{o} = - 2090 kJ/mol$
the lattice energy of caesium oxide is $- 2090 kJ/mol$
