TUTORIALS SHEET CHM 325

Question 1
Define the following terms : Unit cell, Lattice energy, hole, crystal pattern, stoechiometry

Question 2 :
Name two types of stoechiometry defects which can be form in solids crystals and name two
compound for each type.

Question 3
What is a Madelung constant ?
The Madelung constant for a sodium chloride structure is 1.74756, write the expression of the
electrostatique energy produce in the crystal

Question 4
The NaF crystallise in f.c.c . Draw the crystal structure and allocate the position of the Na and
the F ions.

Question 5
Consider that the ions are rigid spheres, show that r=a2 /4
Where a is the side of a unit cell of a f.c.c lattice and r is the radius of the sphere

Question 6
Draw the Born-Haber cycle for the formation of KCl
Use the above cycle and the thermochemical data (all the values are in KJ/mol)
below to calculate a value of the lattice energy of potassium cloride 
Sublimation energy : 89.1
First ionization energy : 418
Half dissociation energy of Cl2 : 122
Electron affinity : -349
Standard enthalpy of formation of KCl : -436.7
