Answer:
The Born Haber cycle for the formation of calcium chloride from its constituent elements involves following steps.Ca (s) → Ca (g) ΔHa° (Ca) =178 kj/mol.Ca (g) → Ca+ (g) + e-Δ HIE°= 590 kj/mol. ...½ Cl2 (g) → Cl (g) ;Δ Ha°= ½Δ HCl-Cl°=121 kj/mol.Cl (g) + e- → Cl- (g) ;Δ Hea°= -364 kj/mol.Ca2+ (g) + 2Cl- (g) → CaCl2 (s)
The formation of from molecules is given below.
The enthalpy change here is the standard enthalpy of formation.
And that of from ions is given below.
The enthalpy change here is lattice enthalpy.
Here is converted to during the formation from ions. This conversion is done in two successive steps.
1. Conversion of Calcium from solid state to gaseous state.
The enthalpy change here is enthalpy of sublimation.
2. Conversion of Calcium into ions.
The enthalpy change here is the sum of first and second ionisation enthalpies, since two electrons are liberated.
And here is converted to during the formation from ions. This is also done in two successive steps.
1. Conversion of Chlorine molecule into Chlorine atom.
The enthalpy change here is the bond dissociation enthalpy.
2. Conversion of Chlorine into ions.
The enthalpy change here is the electron gain enthalpy.
Since there are two chlorine atoms the electron gain enthalpy should be twice its standard value.
Hence the Born Haber Cycle for the formation of is,
From this we get,
Thus we can find out the lattice enthalpy from this if others are known.
