The overall energy involved in the formation of CsCl from Cs(s) and Cl2 (g)is - 443 kj/mol. Given the following information:
•heat of sublimation for Cs is +76 kj/mol,
•bond dissociation energy for ½ Cl2is +121 kj/mol,
•E(11) for Cs is +376 kj/mol, and
•E(a) for Cl2is 349 kj/mol.
what is the magnitude of the lattice energy for CsCl?
in kj/mol
attempted
i guess the formula we ahve to use is
U= k ( z1 x z2)/ d
but i don't knw which is which
so plz can someone
need help badly
someone can plz solveit for me
thnks

What is E(11)? Is that the ionization potential of Cs gas to Cs^+ + e?
That 376 sounds high for the ionization potential. Also, did you make a typo on the Ea for Cl. I think that should be -349 (or at least the number should be negative). I don't know if the number is correct or not.
Assuming E(11) is the ionization potential for Cs(g) ==> Cs^+ +e
then
Sublimation + ionization + 1/2 dissociation + electron affinity + Ecrystallization = heat formation.
If your numbers are right, then 76+376+121-349+Ecrystallization = -443. Solve for E crystal.
Most P. Chem texts I've seen define U as crystal lattice energy = - E crystal.
Solve for E crystallization. E crystal should be a negative number
then
Sublimation + ionization + 1/2 dissociation + electron affinity + Ecrystallization = heat formation.
If your numbers are right, then 76+376+121-349+Ecrystallization = -443. Solve for E crystal.

U=(-443-76-121-376+349)
=-667
