Concept introduction:
The pictorial representation of the formation of ionic solids from its constituent elements is known as the Born-Haber cycle. Following are the steps required to draw the Born-Haber cycle of any ionic compound:
Step 1: Solid metal is converted into gaseous isolated atoms. It takes place by a process called sublimation.
Step 2: Gaseous molecules are broken down into separate atoms. Energy is supplied to break molecules apart and this is called
Step 3: Isolated metal atoms are converted into respective cations with the help of ionization energy.
Step 4: Anions are formed from gaseous atoms with the help of
Step 5: Ionic compound is formed by the combination of cation and anion. Energy is released in this process.

- Although nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is a thermally stable compound, nitrogen triiodide (Nl3) is known to be a highly explosive material. NI3 can be synthesized according to the equation BN(s)+3IF(g)BF3(g)+NI3(g) a. What is the enthalpy of formation for NI3(s) given the enthalpy of reaction ( 307 kJ) and the enthalpies of formation for BN(s) (254 kJ/mol), IF(g) ( 96 kJ/mol), and BF3(g) ( 1136 kJ/mol)? b. It is reported that when the synthesis of NI3 is conducted using 4 moles of IF for every l mole of BN. one of the by-products isolated is [IF2]+ [BF4].

Based on the value of heat of reaction, explain the chemical reaction above in terms of the energy associated with breaking or formation of molecular bonds. iii. Consider a similar reaction of A and B as the one shown above. However, the reaction now generates D in vapor form instead of liquid. Explain how the heat of reaction value differs from the one shown above. iv. If the above reaction occurs in an isothermal system where there is no work interaction and both kinetic and potential energy changes are too small such that they are negligible, write the energy balance for the system.arrow_forwardFor each pair, choose the compound with the lower lattice en-ergy, and explain your choice: (a) NaF or NaCl; (b) K₂O or K₂Sarrow_forward
