Born Haber Cycles & Lattice Enthalpy
Thursday, May 16, 2013
Born-Haber Cycle• Why are NF3 and PCl3 stable while NCl3 is
dangerously explosive? • Born-Haber cycle provides a useful way
to account for the relative stabilities of chemical compounds
• Relative stability of the compound is determined by the lattice enthalpy of a compound

Born-Haber Cycle
• How can we determine the lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound?
• We can break up the formation of an ionic compound into a series of steps
• Then take all those steps and add them up so it is really a Hess’ Law problem!
• Recall that the enthalpy of formation for an uncombined element is therefore = 0

Some Definitions• The enthalpy of atomization is the enthalpy change that
occurs when one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from the element in the standard state under standard conditions
Example: ½ Cl2 (g) Cl (g) ΔHoat = 121 kJ mol-1
• The electron affinity is the enthalpy change that occurs when an electron is added to an isolated atom in the gaseous state:
O (g) + e- O- (g) ΔHo = -142 kJ mol-1
O- (g) + e- O2- (g) ΔHo = +844 kJ mol-1
• The lattice enthalpy is the enthalpy change that occurs from the conversion of an ionic compound in the gaseous state into its gaseous ions
LiCl (g) Li+ (g) + Cl- (g) ΔHo = +846 kJ mol-1

Born Haber Cycle for NaCl
The formation of NaCl can be considered as a five step process
Na (s) + 1/2 Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)1. The vaporization of sodium metal to form the gaseous
element. Na(s) Na(g)2. The dissociation of chlorine gas to gaseous chlorine
atoms is equal to one half of the bond energy for a Cl-Cl covalent bond 1/2 Cl2(g) Cl(g)
3. The ionization of gaseous sodium atoms to Na(g) Na+(g) + e-
4. The ionization of chlorine atoms. (This quantity is the negative electron affinity for the element chlorine.) Cl(g) + e- Cl-(g)
5. The lattice energy on the formation of sodium chloride from the gaseous ions Na+(g) + Cl-(g) NaCl(s)

Born-Haber Cycle for NaClThe stepwise energy changes for the formation of NaCl:
The vaporization of sodium metal to form the gaseous element.
Na (s) Na (g) ∆H°sublimation = + 109 kJ mol-1
The dissociation of chlorine gas to gaseous chlorine atoms is equal to one half of the bond energy for a Cl-Cl covalent bond
1/2 Cl2 (g) Cl (g) ∆H°diss = + 122 kJ mol-1
The ionization of gaseous sodium atoms to: Na (g) Na+ (g) + e- ∆H°ionization = + 496 kJ mol-1
The ionization of chlorine atoms. (This quantity is the negative electron affinity for the element chlorine.)

Try it! • 1. Calculate the energy released (in kJ mol-1 ) in the reaction K (s) + 1/2 Br2 (l) --------> KBr (s)
The energy of vaporization of potassium is +89 kJ mol-1. The first ionization enthalpy of potassium is +419 kJ mol-1.
The sum of the dissociation energy and vaporization energy for Br2 (l) is 223 kJ mol-1, the negative electron affinity of bromine is -324 kJ mol-1, and the lattice energy of KBr is -688 kJ mol-1.
2. Calculate the energy released (in kJ mol-1 ) in the reaction
Na (s) + 1/2 I2 (l) --------> NaI (s)
The energy of vaporization of sodium is +109 kJ mol-1. The first ionization energy of sodium is +496 kJ mol-1.
The sum of the dissociation energy and vaporization energy for I2 (s) is 214 kJ mol-1, the negative electron affinity of iodine is -295 kJ mol-1, and the lattice energy of NaI is - 704 kJ mol-1.
