Construct a Born-Haber cycle for the formation of the hypothetical compound NaCl2, where the sodium ion has a 2+ charge (the 2nd ionization energy for sodium is given in Table 7.2 in the textbook).
Part B
If we were to estimate the lattice energy of NaCl2 to be roughly equal to that of MgCl2 (2326 kJ/mol from Table 8.2 in the textbook), what value would you obtain for the standard enthalpy of formation, ΔH∘f, of NaCl2?
