Born-Haber Cycle, Practice Problems

Given the following information for magnesium, oxygen, and magnesium oxide calculate the second electron gain
enthalpy for oxygen {i.e. for O (g) + e O2 (g)}.
for Mg (s), Hsub = +148 kJ/mol
1st ionization energy for Mg = +738 kJ/mol
2nd ionization energy for Mg = +1450 kJ/mol

2.

bond dissociation energy for O2 = +499 kJ/mol

1st electron gain enthalpy for O = 141 kJ/mol
for MgO (s), lattice energy = +3890 kJ/mol
for MgO (s), enthalpy of formation = 602 kJ/mol

Consider an ionic compound MX2 where M is a metal that forms a cation of +2 charge, and X is a nonmetal that forms an
anion of 1 charge. A Born-Haber cycle for MX2 is given below. Each step in this cycle has been assigned a number
