Question

The overall energy involved in the formation of CsCl from Cs(s) and Cl2(g) is −443 kJ mol−1. Given the following information: heat of sublimation for Cs is +76 kJ mol−1, bond dissociation energy for 12Cl2 is +121 kJ mol−1, Ei1 for Cs is +376 kJ mol−1, and Eea for Cl(g) is 349 kJ mol−1. what is the magnitude of the lattice energy for CsCl?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that total energy is -443 kJ/mol and formula to calculate the lattice energy is as follows.

       Total energy = heat of sublimation + bond dissociation energies + ionization energy for Cs + EA of $Cl^{-}$ + lattice energy

       -443 kJ/mol = 76 + 121 + 376 - 349 + Lattice energy

   Lattice energy = (-443 - 76 -121 - 376 + 349) kJ

       Lattice energy = -667 kJ

Therefore, we can conclude that -667 kJ is the magnitude of the lattice energy for CsCl.
