Answer:
Enthalpy of formation of strontium chloride, SrCl = -558.1 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Sr(s) -------> Sr(g) Ā Ā Ā ĪHsublimation = +164 kJ/mol
Srāŗ(g) -------> Srāŗ(g) Ā Ā First Ionization energy, IEā = +549 kJ/mol
Srāŗ(g) -------> Sr²āŗ(g) Ā Ā Second ionization energy, IEā = +1064 kJ/mol
Iā(s) --------> Iā(g) Ā ĪHsublimation = +62.4 kJ/mol
Iā(g) -------> 2I(g) Ā Bond dissociation energy, BE = +152.55 kJ/mol
2I(g) ----> 2Iā»(g) Ā Electron affinity, EA = 2 (-295.15 kJ/mol) = -590.3 kJ/mol
Sr²āŗ(g) + 2Iā»(g) ------> SrIā(s) Ā Ā Lattice energy, LE = -1959.75 kJ/mol
Overall equation for the formation of SrClā is given as:
Sr(s) + Iā(s) ----> SrIā(s) Ā Ā ĪHformation = ?
Enthalpy of formation, ĪHformation = (ĪHsublimation of Sr(s) + IEā + IEā + ĪHsublimation of Iā(s) + BE + EA + LE)
ĪHformation = {164 + 549 + 1064 + 62.4 + 152.55 + (-590.3) + (-1959.75)} kJ/mol
Sr(s) + Iā(s) ----> SrIā(s) Ā Ā ĪHformation = -558 kJ/mol
Therefore, enthalpy of formation of strontium chloride, SrCl = -558.1 kJ/mol
