22 Born-Haber cycles can be used to determine experimental values of lattice energies. (a) The diagram below shows a Born-Haber cycle for the formation of strontium chloride from strontium and chlorine. Sr2+(g) + 2e + 2Cl(g) (cid:507)H5 (cid:507)H6 Sr2+(g) + 2e + Cl2(g) (cid:507)H4 Sr+(g) + e + Cl2(g) (cid:507)H3 Sr(g) + Cl2(g) (cid:507)H2 Sr(s) + Cl2(g) Sr2+(g) + 2Cl(g) (cid:507)H7 (cid:507)H1 SrCl2(s) Using symbols from (cid:507)H1 to (cid:507)H7 as appropriate, identify the (i) enthalpy change of atomization of strontium (1)(ii) bond enthalpy of chlorine (1)(iii) first electron affinity of chlorine (1)(iv) enthalpy change of formation of strontium chloride (1)16 *P44880A01628*<br />
