QUESTION:
Explain how the lattice energy of an ionic compound such as KCl can be determined using the Born-Haber cycle. On what law is this procedure based?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
We need to find the lattice energy of formation of using the Born-Haber cycle.
The Born-Haber cycle is based on Hess's law.
Hess’s law states that the heat change in a chemical reaction is the same regardless of the number of stages in the cycle.
