Why Does Mgcl2 Have High Lattice Energy
Heat of fusion: 34.3 kJ/mol; specific heat: 1.415 kJ/kg-K @ 48.6 °C, 1.537 kJ/kg-K @ 100 °C Lattice energy is defined as the energy required to separate a mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions. Lattice energy cannot be measured empirically, but it can be calculated using electrostatics or…
