Enthelpy change & lattice energy - check please

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the enthalpy change represented by lattice energy for silver fluoride (AgF) and iron(III) chloride (FeCl3). The correct reaction for AgF is AgF(s) → Ag⁺(g) + F⁻(g), indicating the solid state of AgF and the gaseous states of the ions. For FeCl3, the reaction should be written as FeCl3(s) → Fe³⁺(g) + 3Cl⁻(g), emphasizing the need to include physical states and correct ionic charges. Participants clarified the importance of breaking down compounds into their constituent ions for accurate representation.

Write the reaction where the enthalpy change is the lattice energy for silver floride. Make sure you include the physical states.

Ag F (ag) yields Ag Positive(g) + F negative(g)

Could you please check this
Thanks
Could you help with this one: write the equation for the reaction where the enthalpy change represents the lattice energy of iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) Do not forget to include the physical states. Could you get me started?
Thanks

This is almost correct, but what is "(ag)" ?

This is just like the other problem. First break up the molecule into individual atoms (FeCl3 breaks up into an Fe atom and 3 Cl atoms). Next you put the correct charges on these atoms to convert them to the appropriate ions. So Fe should be Fe(3+), and each Cl would be... ?
