8.1b Born Haber Cycle | General Chemistry

Born Haber Cycle
Chad provides a brief lesson on how the Born Haber Cycle can be used to calculate the lattice energy of an ionic compound. While lattice energies cannot be measured directly in a laboratory, the thermodynamic data from a number of processes that can be measured in a laboratory are typically available to allow for its calculation. This includes the enthalpy of formation of the ionic solid, the ionization energy (or ionization energies) of the metal, the electron affinity (or electron affinities) of the nonmetal, and more. A demonstration of how the Born Haber Cycle can be used to calculate the lattice energy of NaCl is performed over the course of this lesson.

I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page. Check this lesson out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-gener...
