Help with Born-Haber cycle


allthebest

Recommended Posts

When drawing the born-haber cycle for sodium chloride, the values that are given are:

atomization of Na and the enthalpy change of formation.

How can I find the other values in the formula booklet? which table should I use?

for example, for:

Na (g) + 1/2 Cl2 (g) becoming Na+ + e- + 1/2Cl2 (g)

thank you.

They can be found in the data booklet. For Na it is the ionization energy and for Cl2 it is the bond dissociation enthalpy (but divide by 2 because it is 1/2 Cl2). 

In the latest data booklet, it is table 8 (ionization energies) and 11 ( bond dissociation enthalpy). 

Here's a video that may help:
