Calculate the Lattice Energy for MgCl2(s)using a Born-Haber Cycle and the Following

Question 138

Multiple Choice

Calculate the lattice energy for MgCl2(s) using a Born-Haber cycle and the following information: MgCl2(s) → Mg2+(g) + 2 Cl-(g) ?
Mg(s) + Cl2(g) → MgCl2(s) -641.6 kJ/mol
Mg(s) → Mg(g) +147.1 kJ/mol
Mg(g) → Mg+(g) + e- +737.8 kJ/mol
Mg+(g) → Mg2+(g) + e- +1451.0 kJ/mol
1/2 Cl2(g) → Cl(g) +121.7 kJ/mol
Cl(g) + e- → Cl-(g) -348.6 kJ/mol


A) +641.6 kJ/mol
B) +1240.5 kJ/mol
C) +1882.1 kJ/mol
D) +2523.7 kJ/mol
