Why are lattice energy and enthalpy defined using opposite signs?
The lattice energy and enthalpy defined using opposite signs as the energy required to convert the crystal into infinitely separated gaseous ions in vacuum, an endothermic process. Following this convention, the lattice energy of NaCl would be +786 kJ/mol. The lattice energy for ionic crystals such as sodium chloride, metals such as iron, or covalently linked materials such as diamond is considerably greater in magnitude than for solids such as sugar or iodine, whose neutral molecules interact only by weaker dipole-dipole or van der Waals forces.
How to Calculate Lattice Energy using Lattice Enthalpy?
Lattice Energy using Lattice Enthalpy calculator uses Lattice Energy = Lattice Enthalpy-(Pressure Lattice Energy*Molar Volume Lattice Energy) to calculate the Lattice Energy, The Lattice Energy using Lattice Enthalpy of a crystalline solid is a measure of the energy released when ions are combined to make a compound. Lattice Energy is denoted by U symbol.
