I II III IV [4] (b) Explain what is meant by the term lattice enthalpy. [2] 11177 [Turn over (c) Calculate, to four significant figures, the lattice enthalpy of barium chloride. [2] (d) What name is given to the cycle used to calculate lattice enthalpy? [1] (e) Given Ba2+(g)  "  Ba2+(aq) −1309 kJ mol−1 Cl-(g)  "  Cl-(aq) −378 kJ mol−1 calculate, to an appropriate number of significant figures, the enthalpy of solution of barium chloride and use it to explain why barium chloride is soluble in water.
