Question

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

Solution

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=34.87Kcalmol1

Hence, the energy of second excited state will be -34.87 Kcal/mol
