This question is about sodium and its compounds.

The Born-Haber cycle for sodium oxide is shown (not to scale).

(d(ii))

The standard enthalpy of formation of sodium oxide is −414 kJ mol−1. Determine the lattice enthalpy of sodium oxide, in kJ mol−1, using section 8 of the data booklet and your answers to (d)(i).


(If you did not get answers to (d)(i), use +850 kJ mol−1 and +600 kJ mol−1 respectively, but these are not the correct answers.)

Markscheme

lattice enthalpy = 861 «kJ mol−1» + 2 × 603 «kJ mol−1» −(−414 «kJ mol−1»)     [✔]

«= +» 2481 «kJ mol−1»    [✔]

 

Note: Award [2] for correct final answer.

If given values are used:
M1: lattice enthalpy = 850 «kJ mol−1» +
× 600 «kJ mol−1» −(−414 «kJ mol−1»)
M2: «= +» 2464 «kJ mol−1»

Examiners report

Many candidates earned some credit for ECF based on (d)(i).
