If the ionization energy of hydrogen is 313.8Kcal per mole, then the energy of the electron in 2nd excited state will be:-
(1) 113.2 Kcal/mole
(2) 78.45 Kcal/mole
(3) 313.8 Kcal/mole
(4) 35 Kcal/mole
Step 1:
2nd excited state means n = 3
Energy varies inversely with square of number of excited state, i.e.,
En=−E1n2
Step 2:
E2=−313.89=−34.87Kcalmol−1
Hence, the energy of second excited state will be -34.87 Kcal/mol
