question 96

Multiple Choice

Use the Born-Haber cycle to calculate the lattice energy of MgO (s) given the following data: $\Delta$ H(sublimation) Mg = 130 kJ/mol

Bond energy (O=O) = 498.7 kJ/mol
EA (O) = 141 kJ/mol
EA (O^-) = -780 kJ/mol
$\Delta$ H (MgO(s) ) = -601.8 kJ/mol

• A)2200 kJ/mol
• B)2800 kJ/mol
• C)3200 kJ/mol
• D)3800 kJ/mol
• E)4100 kJ/mol
