The first ionisation potential of Li is 5.4 e V and the electron affinity of Cl is 3.6 eV . Calculate Delta H in kcal mol^(-1) for the reaction Li (g) + Cl (g) to Li^(+) + Cl^(-) Carried out at such low pressures that resulting ions do not combine with each other.

For the reaction : PCl_(5) (g) rarrPCl_(3) (g) +Cl_(2)(g) :

If the first ionization enthalpy of Li is 5.4 eV and the elec- tron gain enthalpy of chlorine is 3.6 eV then the Delta H in kcal/mole for the reaction will be Li(g)+Cl(g) to Li^(+) (g) Cl^(-) (g) (Presume that the pressure is so low that the ions do not combine with each other)
