Which expression represents the first electron affinity of iodine? 

Name of enthalpy change Enthalpy change / kJ mol-1
Enthalpy of atomisation of calcium  +178
1st ionisation energy of calcium  +590
2nd ionisation energy of calcium +1145
Enthalpy of atomisation of iodine +107
Lattice energy of calcium iodide -2074
Enthalpy of formation of calcium iodide  -534
  • -534 - 178 - 590 - 1145 - (2 x 107) - (-2074)

  • -534 - 178 - 590 - 1145 - 107 - (-2074)

  • fraction numerator negative 534 space minus space 178 space minus space 590 space minus space 1145 space minus space left parenthesis 2 space cross times space 107 right parenthesis space minus space left parenthesis negative 2074 right parenthesis over denominator 2 end fraction

  • fraction numerator plus 534 space minus space 178 space minus space 590 space minus space 1145 space minus space left parenthesis 2 space straight x space 107 right parenthesis space plus space 2074 over denominator 2 end fraction
