Thermodynamics: Lattice Enthalpy and Born-Haber Cycles
Thermodynamics: Lattice Enthalpy and Born-Haber Cycles
- Born-Haber cycles are used for calculating lattice enthalpies from known enthalpies.
- Ionic compounds with covalent character will show different lattice enthalpy from calculated value.
- Tasks include constructing Born-Haber cycles and calculating enthalpy changes.
- Hess’s Law calculations are simpler and should be learned first.
