Born-Haber's cycle enables us to calculate:
Correct answer: C. Lattice energy of ionic compounds
- A. Enthalpy of combustion
- B. Lattice energy of covalent compounds
- C. Lattice energy of ionic compounds
- D. Enthalpy of ionization
Explanation
The Born-Haber cycle is a powerful theoretical tool used in chemistry to indirectly calculate the lattice energy of an ionic solid. It does this by applying Hess's Law to a series of steps that form the ionic compound from its elements.

About Thermochemistry and Energetics of Chemical Reactions
Thermochemistry measures energy changes in chemical reactions and distinguishes exothermic from endothermic processes. Work covers systems, surroundings and state functions, internal energy, the first law of thermodynamics, enthalpy and Hess's law, including the sign conventions used when heat enters or leaves a system.
