Can someone please tell me where 244 came from?
So, I doubt that the marking scheme cites 244 kJ/mol since I think it would be 242 kJ/mol as per the data booklet and that is the enthalpy change of atomisation of Cl2 molecule which at have to take into consideration during the calculation.
Yes, the bond energy of Cl2 is 242 in the 2016 specimen data booklet. The value must have been given as 244 in the data booklet of that particular year.

why do we need bond energy though in calculating this?
the book didnt use it :/

So see since you are calculating the lattice energy we take into consideration the respective enthalpy change of atomisation and electron affinity/ionisation energies(depending on whether it is a metal or non-metal). In this case, 1 mol of Cl2 molecule will form Cl atoms which will further form 1 mole of Cl- ions.Therefore, we are taking bond energy basically, Enthalpy change of atomisation, to convert chlorine molecules into atoms.

Ohhhh Thank You so much

Can someone please help me with paper 5 its literally my nightmare... I solved O/N/09 and as the markscheme isn't very helpful I have no way of marking it myself, I wanna know how to construct an experiment t and everything... Could someone solve question 1d please?
