      Sublimation enthalpies:
      
                     DHsub(Al,s)  =  326 kJ mol-1
                     DHsub(Ag,s)  =  289 kJ mol-1
                     DHsub(K,s)   =   89 kJ mol-1
                
      Atomisation enthalpies:
      
                     DHatom(Cl)    =  121 kJ.mol-1
                     DHatom(Li,s)  =  159 kJ mol-1
           
           N.B. These are the enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous
           atoms is formed from the element in its Standard State at
           298K and 1 atm (101.325 kPa) pressure.  They may be
           equivalent to one or more other steps. e.g. for a solid metal
           it is the same as the sublimation enthalpy, but for bromine
           it is HALF the sum of the enthalpies of vaporisation and
           dissociation (half because these are defined per mole of Br2
           molecules - which give two moles of atoms).
      
      Bond dissociation enthalpies:
      
                     DHbond(Br2) = +224 kJ mol-1

           Fe(g) --> Fe+(g) + e-         DH =  762 kJ mol-1
           Fe+(g)--> Fe+2(g) + e-        DH = 1561 kJ mol-1
           K(g)  --> K+(g) + e-          DH =  418 kJ.mol-1
           Li(g) --> Li+(g) + e-         DH =  520 kJ mol-1 
           Zn(g) --> Zn2+(g) + 2e-       DH = 2638 kJ mol-1
      
      Electron attachment (affinity) enthalpies:
      
           Br(g) + e-(g) --> Br-(g)      DH = -342 kJ mol-1 
           O(g)  + e-(g) --> O-(g)       DH = -141 kJ mol-1 
           O-(g) + e-(g) --> O2-(g)      DH =  791 kJ mol-1 
           S(g) + 2e- ---> S2-(g)        DH =  449 kJ mol-1
      
      Lattice enthalpies:
      
                DHlatt(AgBr)=  -904 kJ mol-1
                DHlatt(FeO) = -3923 kJ mol-1
                DHlatt(KCl) =  -717 kJ mol-1
                
      Enthalpies of formation:
      
                DHform(Al2O3)= -1676 kJ mol-1 
                DHform(Li2O) =  -596 kJ mol-1 
                DHform(AgBr) =   -99.5 kJ mol-1 
                DHform(FeO)  =  -267 kJ mol-1
                DHform(ZnS)  =  -206.4 kJ mol-1
                DHform(KBr)  =  -392 kJ mol-1
                DHform(KCl)  =  -436 kJ.mol-1
      
      Enthalpy of vaporisation:
      
                DXHvap(Br2,l) = 15 kJ.mol-1

Suggested method:

Construct a Born-Haber cycle that includes the unknown quantity as one of the steps in the form of an enthalpy diagram. Make sure each level contains ALL the atoms (and electrons if necessary) in the right numbers - each step is a balanced chemical equation. Put in the values of all the enthalpy changes except for the one sought and an arrow to indicate the direction of the change it applies to (i.e. as in the definition of the quantity.) Remember to include the necessary factors.

Put in the arrow for the unknown quantity and then go round the cycle in the other direction changing the sign for any quantity whose arrow goes the opposite way. The sum of all these is the quantity you want.
