2What 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.
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.
