Answer to Question #307183 in Physical Chemistry for Wellen

Question

Draw the energy diagram of the reaction: Na(s) + ½Cl2 → NaCl.

Enthalpy (kJ/mol)

     Na(s) → Na(g)                       +108

     Na_(g) → Na⁺_(g) + e                   +496

     ½ Cl₂ →Cl_(g)                            +121

     Cl_(g) + e → Cl^-_(g)                      -349
