Give a thermochemical cycle (law of Hess) for sublimation of `CeBr_(3)` , via vapour of mononucler ions (`H_(1) =H_(“lattice”), H_(e) = H_(“electrostatic”), H_(s) =H_(“sublimation”) , `H is not absolute , H means `DeltaH`)

`H_(s)=-H_(1) + H_(e)`
The lattice energy of the solid can be calculated using the Baron -Lande formula,
`H_(1)=d(Z+Z-Ae^(2))/(r_(+) +r_(-))(1-(1)/(n))`
The factor `Fe^(2)` (necessary in order to calculate the lattice is 2.985. The Borm exponent n is 11. The charge of the ions `Z_(+)` and `Z_(_)` are integer number (Z is negative ). For the calculation of the energy of gaseous `CeBr_(3)` (when formed from ions) the same Born- Lande formula can be used without A. The structure of `CeBr_(3)` in the gas phase is planer triangular . The radius of `Ce^(3+)` is 0.115 nm and of Br is 0.182nm.
Correct Answer – `(CeBr_(3))_(“glucose”) overset(-H_(1))rarr Ce^(3-) + 3Br^(-)`
`Ce^(3+) + 3 Br overset(-He)rarr (CeBr_(3))_(“molecules”)
___________ `(CeBr_(3))_(“tattice”) overset(+H_(3)) rarr (CeBr_(3))_(“molecules”) ” “H_(3) =- H_91) + H_(e)`
The lattice energy of the solid cn be calculated using the Boron – Lande formula:
`H_(1) = d(Z_(+)Z_(-)Ae^(2))/(r_(+)+R_(-))(1-(1)/(n))`
The factor `Fe_(2)` (necessary in order to calculate the lattice energy in KJ `”mol”^(-1)` ) amounts of 139 when the ionic radii are substituted in nm . The Madelung constant A for the lattice is 2.985. The Born exponent n is 11 . The charge of the ions `Z_(+)` and `Z_(-)` are integer number (Z is negative) . For the calculation of the energy of gaseous `CeBr_(3)` (when formed from ions ) the same Born-Londe formula can be used without A. The structure of `CeBr_(3)` in the gas phase is planar triangular . The radius of `Ce^(3+)` is 0.115 nm and of Br is 0.182 nm.
