This is, yes, a born -hauber cycle, but it's mostly a hess's law calculation, where we are given several reactions with known delta -h values and we're asked to combine them in such a fashion that we get a single reaction for which we will calculate a delta -h value.
00:18
The single reaction will be for the formation of calcium chloride.
00:23
The formation equation for calcium chloride is one -mole calcium, reacting with one -mole chlorine gas, these are the standard states for calcium and chlorine to produce calcium chloride solid.
00:41
To do this, we'll need to reverse the final reaction that they gave us so that we get calcium chloride solid on the right hand side.
00:49
When we reverse a reaction, we change the sign on the delta h value, in this case from positive to negative.
00:57
We will also need one mole of chlorine gas on the left hand side.
01:04
Here we have half of a mole, so we'll need to multiply this reaction through by 2.
01:10
When we do that, we multiply its delta h value by 2.
01:16
Then we'll need two moles of chlorine gas here, so it will ultimately cancel the two moles that we created by multiplying the first reaction by 2.
01:34
Then we'll multiply its delta h by 2.
01:38
Now i think we're done modifying the reactions...
