CI 4.6 – Born-Haber Cycle (C) JHUDSON 2005
For an ionic compound the lattice enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of solid in its standard state is formed from its ions in the gaseous state. The lattice enthalpy cannot be measured directly and so we make use of other known enthalpies and link them together with an enthalpy cycle. This enthalpy cycle is the Born-Haber cycle. What do we mean by lattice enthalpy? For an ionic compound the lattice enthalpy is the enthalpy change when one mole of solid in its standard state is formed from its ions in the gaseous state.
