The Born–Haber cycle is an approach to analyze reaction energies. It was named after two German scientists, Max Born and Fritz Haber , who developed it in 1919. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It was also independently formulated by Kasimir Fajans [ 4 ] and published concurrently in the same journal. [ 1 ]
A representation of Hess's law (where H represents enthalpy) Hess's law of constant heat summation, also known simply as Hess's law, is a relationship in physical chemistry and thermodynamics [1] named after Germain Hess, a Swiss-born Russian chemist and physician who published it in 1840.
The Haber process, [1] also called the Haber–Bosch process, is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It converts atmospheric nitrogen (N 2 ) to ammonia (NH 3 ) by a reaction with hydrogen (H 2 ) using finely divided iron metal as a catalyst:
Standard enthalpy change of formation in Born–Haber diagram for lithium fluoride. Δ latt H corresponds to U L in the text. The downward arrow "electron affinity" shows the negative quantity –EA F, since EA F is usually defined as positive.
The Born–Haber cycle, an approach to analyze reaction energies, is developed by German scientists Max Born and Fritz Haber. Sydney Chapman and David Enskog systematically develop a kinetic theory of gases. Jan Czochralski invents a method for growing single crystals of metals.
[7] [8] [9] Haber also, along with Max Born, proposed the Born–Haber cycle as a method for evaluating the lattice energy of an ionic solid. Haber, a known German nationalist, is also considered the "father of chemical warfare" for his years of pioneering work developing and weaponizing chlorine and other poisonous gases during World War I.
More than two-thirds of retirees wish they had saved more and on a consistent basis — and half wish they hadn’t waited so long to focus on it, according to a new report.
A chance meeting with Fritz Haber in Berlin in 1918 led to discussion of how an ionic compound is formed when a metal reacts with a halogen, which is today known as the Born–Haber cycle. In World War I he was originally placed as a radio operator, but his specialist knowledge led to his being moved to research duties on sound ranging.
