Q.
Calculate the energy required to convert all atoms in 4.8g of Mg to Mg2+ in the vapor state. IE1 and IE2 of Mg are 740kJ/mol and 1450kJ/mol respectively.
For 1 mole of (Mg→Mg2+) IE=IE1+IE2=(740+1450)=2190kJ/mol
Number of mole in 4.8g of Mg=4.8/24=0.2mol
For 1 mole energy required =2190kJ/mol
For 0.2 mole energy required =2190×0.2=438kJ
Thus, for 4.8g of Mg to Mg2+ conversion, energy required is 438kJ.
