NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

What is the lattice enthalpy of a compound if 500 kJ of energy is required to separate half a mole of the compound into its gaseous ions?

A

1000 kJ mol⁻¹

B

250 kJ mol⁻¹

C

500 kJ mol⁻¹

D

2000 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Lattice enthalpy is defined as the energy required to completely separate one mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions. If 500 kJ is needed for half a mole, then for one mole, it would be double, i.e., 1000 kJ mol⁻¹.
