The bond dissociation enthalpy of X2 H bond calculated from the given data is kJ mol-1. (Nearest integer) M+X-(s) M+(g)+X-(g) H lattice=800 kJ mol-1 M(s) M(g) H sub=100 kJ mol-1 M(g) M+(g)+e-(g) H i=500 kJ mol-1 X(g)+e-(g) X-(g) H eg=-300 kJ mol-1 M(s)+ 12X2(g) M+X-(s) H f=-400 kJ mol-1 [Given : M+X- is a pure ionic compound and X forms a diatomic molecule X2 in gaseous state]
Answer
200
Solution
Born–Haber: the long route must end at the same level as the direct route Hf.

-400=100+500+ 12 Hbond-300-800
⇒ Hbond=200 kJ/mol
Answer: 200
