Chapter 12, Problem 16PS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The lattice enthalpy of rubidium chloride has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The lattice enthalpy is calculated by using following method,

${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{o}}{}_{\text{f}}\text{(RbCl)}\text{=}\text{ΔH at(Rb)}\text{+}\text{ΔH at(Cl)+}{\text{ΔH}}_{\text{IE}}\text{(Rb)}{\text{+ΔH}}_{\text{EA}}\text{(Cl)+}\text{ΔH}{}_{\text{lattice}}\text{(RbCl)}$
