Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
The chemical reactions which are involved while solving this problem is there in the file attached and each chemical reaction is represented by a certain equation number
Lattice energy for rubidium chloride ( RbCl) is represented by the equation 6
Equation 1 represents the change in enthalpy for formation of RbCl
Equation 2 represents the sublimation reaction of rubidium
Equation 3 represents the ionization enthalpy of rubidium
Equation 4 represents the enthalpy of atomization of chlorine which means it describes the bond enthalpy of Cl2 molecule
Equation 5 represents the electron affinity of chlorine
To find the lattice energy for RbCl we have to use all the equations from 1 to 5 so that at last we get the equation 6
We have to perform operations such as
Equation 1 - equation 2 - equation 3 - equation 4 - equation 5
By performing these operations the intermediate compounds gets cancelled and at last we get equation 6
So Equation 1 ≡ ΔH = -431 kJ/mol
Equation 2 ≡ Rb(s) ---> Rb(g) = 85.8 kJ/mol
Equation 3 ≡ IE1(Rb) = 397.5 kJ/mol
Equation 4 ≡ BE(Cl2) = 226 kJ/mol
Equation 5 ≡ Electron Affinity Cl = -332 kJ/mol
Value corresponding to the equation 6 will be the value of lattice energy of RbCl and the value is -695·3 kJ/mol
∴ Lattice energy for rubidium chloride is approximately -695 kJ/mol
