What type of process is lattice formation and lattice dissociation?
Lattice formation - exothermic
Lattice dissociation- endothermic
Define enthalpy lattice of dissociation
The enthalpy change when 1 mole of a solid ionic compound is completely dissociated into its gaseous ions under standard conditions
How is lattice enthalpy calculated ?
Using Born-Haber Cycles
Define Hess’s law
The total enthalpy change of a reaction is always the same no matter which route is taken under constant pressure
Why is Born-Haber Cycle used to calculate lattice enthalpy
• Lattice enthalpy can’t be calculated directly
• Born-Haber cycle is used to figure out what the enthalpy would be if you took another, less direct, route
State the stages in the Born-Haber cycle
- Start with the enthalpy of formation
- Then put enthalpy of atomisation and ionisation energy above this
- The electron affinity goes up on the right side
- lattice enthalpy goes down the right side
- Arrows go downwards, upwards and downwards
Note
Reverse the sign of what you’ve got when you go against the arrow

Why are group 2 elements different when drawings Born-Haber Cycle
If the formation of a compound involves ions with charges of more than 1, you just have to add the extra ionisation energies and possibly electron affinities
What is theoretical lattice enthalpy
Calculations based purely on the ionic model of a lattice. The purely ionic model of a lattice assumes that all the ions are spherical and have their charge evenly distributed around them
