. Identify the correct order of standard enthalpy of formation of sodium halides.

Options

  1. ANaI<NaBr<NaF<NaClNaI < NaBr < NaF < NaCl
  2. BNaI<NaBr<NaCl<NaFNaI < NaBr < NaCl < NaF
  3. CNaF<NaCl<NaBr<NaINaF < NaCl < NaBr < NaI
  4. DNaCl<NaF<NaBr<NaINaCl < NaF < NaBr < NaI

Correct answer

B. NaI<NaBr<NaCl<NaFNaI < NaBr < NaCl < NaF

Step-by-step solution

The lattice energy of an ionic compound is the energy required to separate one mole of the compound into its constituent ions in the gas phase.

Lattice energy∝1(r++r−)∝ \dfrac{1}{\left({r}_{+} + {r}_{-}\right)}

The lattice energy is inversely proportional to the sum of the ionic radii (r++r−)\left({r}_{+} + {r}_{-}\right) of the ions involved. When the size of the ions increases, the distance between them also increases, leading to a decrease in the attractive forces between the ions and a decrease in the lattice energy. Therefore, if the size of the ions increases, the lattice energy generally decreases.

So Order : NaF>NaCl>NaBr>NaINaF > NaCl > NaBr > NaI
