Dilithium is crucial to the propulsion system of some starships. Dilithium is fomred by the adhesionof two lithium atoms in the gas phase: Li(g)+Li(g)toLi_(2)(g) The enthalpy of formation of dilithium is not easily measurable by direct means. However, th following thermochemicalparameters are known. DeltaH_(f)^(@) of Li_(g)=150kJ//mol IE of Li_(g)=5eV//"atom"[1eV//"atom"=100kJ//mol] BE of Li_((g))^(+)=130kJ//mol IE of Li_(2(g))=5eV//"molecule" [IE= ionisation energy] [BE= bond energy] Q. What is DeltaH_(f)^(@) of Li_(2(g))? |
