Question
Use the following to calculate DH 8 lattice of MgF2: Mg(s) - Mg(g) DH 8 5 148 kJ F2(g) - 2F(g) DH 8 5 159 kJ Mg(g) - Mg1(g) 1 e2 DH 8 5 738 kJ Mg1(g) - Mg21(g) 1 e2 DH 8 5 1450 kJ F(g) 1 e2- F2(g) DH 8 5 2328 kJ Mg(s) 1 F2(g) - MgF2(s) DH 8 5 21123 kJ Compared with the lattice energy of LiF (1050 kJ/mol) or the lattice energy you calculated for NaCl in 9.30, does the relative magnitude of the value for MgF2 surprise you? Explain.
Solution
The first step in solving 9 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Use the following to calculate DH 8 lattice of MgF2: Mg(s) - Mg(g) DH 8 5 148 kJ F2(g) - 2F(g) DH 8 5 159 kJ Mg(g) - Mg1(g) 1 e2 DH 8 5 738 kJ Mg1(g) - Mg21(g) 1 e2 DH 8 5 1450 kJ F(g) 1 e2- F2(g) DH 8 5 2328 kJ Mg(s) 1 F2(g) - MgF2(s) DH 8 5 21123 kJ Compared with the lattice energy of LiF (1050 kJ/mol) or the lattice energy you calculated for NaCl in 9.30, does the relative magnitude of the value for MgF2 surprise you? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Models of Chemical Bonding you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
