SUMMARY
The lattice energy of lithium iodide (LiI) can be calculated using the provided thermodynamic values. The heat of formation for LiI is -270 kJ/mol, while the heat of sublimation for lithium (Li) is 159.40 kJ/mol and for iodine (I2) is 48.30 kJ/mol. The ionization energy for Li is 520 kJ/mol, and the bond dissociation energy for I2 is 149 kJ/mol. The electron affinity for iodine is -295 kJ/mol. These values are essential for determining the lattice energy through the Born-Haber cycle.
