Born-Haber Cycles

eg for sodium chloride: enthalpy H Na+(g)+ Cl(g) + eH H


first ionisation energy

first electron affinity

Na (g) + Cl (g)
atomisation

Na+ (g) + Cl- (g)

Na (g) + Cl2 (g) H atomisation Na (s) + Cl2 (g) H


formation

H lattice association

NaCl (s)

Born-Haber Cycles : applying Hesss Law


There are two routes from elements to ionic compound enthalpy H Na+ (g) + Cl (g) H H
first ionisation energy

first electron affinity

Na (g) + Cl (g)
atomisation

Na+ (g) + Cl- (g)

Na (g) + Cl2 (g) H atomisation Na (s) + Cl2 (g) H


formation

H lattice association

Apply Hesss Law:

NaCl (s)

HatmNa + HatmCl + H1st IE + H1st EA + Hlattice = Hformation

Born-Haber Cycles: applying Hesss Law


HatmNa + HatmCl + H1st IE + H1st EA + Hlattice = Hformation Rearrange to find the lattice energy: Hlattice = Hformation - (HatmNa + HatmCl + H1st IE + H1st EA) So Born-Haber cycles can be used to calculate a measure of ionic bond strength based on experimental data.
