chem helpppppppp pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

1. What is the enthalpy change, in Kj/mol, for the process below?

Ca^2+ (g) + 2Cl^- (g) --> CaCl2 (s)

Data (in kJ/mol):

Enthalpy of sublimation of Ca(s): 178

Bond dissociation energy of Cl2(g): 244

Ionization energies (1st, 2nd, 3rd) of Ca(g): 590; 1,145; 4,912

Ionization energies (1st, 2nd, 3rd) of Cl(g): 1,252; 2,297; 3,822

First electron affinity of Cl(g): -349

Standard enthalpy of formation for CaCl2(s): -796

2. Two elements, X and Y, form a crystalline material. The crystal lattice of this material can be described as follows. The X atoms form a cubic closest packed structure and the Y atoms occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in the lattice of X atoms.

The empirical formula of the solid is: X ____ Y ____

    Ca (s) + Cl2 (g) ---> CaCl2 (s) ∆H = -796 (standard formation)

    ...... .......Ca (g) ---> Ca(s) .. ..∆H = -178 (opposite of sublimation)

    .... .... .... Ca+2 ---> Ca (g) .. . ∆H = -1735 (opposite of ionizations 1st+2nd)

    .. .. . ... 2 Cl (g) ---> Cl2 (g) .. ∆H = -244 (opposite of dissociation)

    .. .... .. 2 Cl- (g) ---> 2 Cl (g) . ∆H = +698 (opposite of affinity and times 2 for 2 Cl's)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ca+2 (g) + 2 Cl- (g) ---> CaCl2 (s) ∆H = - 2255

    this looks OK to me but check my math for sure

    2

    since there should be 4 tetrahedral sites per X

    I think there should be 2 Y's per X

    so

    XY2

    not dead certain but it seems logical

    OMG there have been nasty, extensive long coke strains contained in the sky all summer time, yet like the guy above me pronounced, they permit up slightly over the week, i think till the storms handed. and is it any accident that everywhere else, alongside with Canada and the united kingdom, there have been storms each and on a daily basis? you will see them coming up the rain, sparkling blue day, then growth til the chemtrails come, nasty white streaks messing up the sky, using biowarfare, climate exchange, drugging us with barium, aerosolized prozac and valuum and god knows what else, HAARP is in all danger in on it, And those style of recent generations by no skill submit to in ideas the skies devoid of those huge nasty white streaks, they're certainly being confident that it is common, and 'contrails' have consistently appeared that way! are you able to suspect it! i'm telling you, there could be some style of drug in there, because of the fact HOW can maximum of human beings, previous generations and youthful, stroll around in a daze, no longer noticing those freako strains contained in the sky? Do the older human beings submit to in ideas they have been by no skill there ten years in the past and former even nonetheless there exchange into consistently heavy air site visitors? everyone seems to have this form of short reminiscence span these days! between in spite of is contained in the chemtrail soup, the fluoride, the medicine, the vaccines, I swear, we've become a retard inhabitants. Thank god there are nonetheless human beings conscious and extensive unsleeping, ha? we are going to hell in a handbasket.
