a) Write out the full Born-Haber cycle for K2S then construct the ladder diagram for K2S, labeling the chemical reactions and each enthalpy step.

b) Next, look up the lattice energies for K and S and calculate the lattice enthalpy for K2S

c) Use the Born-Lande equation to calculate the lattice energy. Use the Madelung constant for the Fluorite structure, assume only the average of one cation and one anion to find the Born exponent, and use an inter-ionic distance of 322 pm. Show all of your work.
