Question

The electron in a hydrogen atom is in the first orbit (n=1). Calculate the energy required to convert H to H⁺ ion. (Hint: calculate the energy required to ionize hydrogen atom). Also calculate the energy required for if we consider a mole of hydrogen atoms. ​

Answer 1

Dear student,
The energy required to convert H into H⁺ is En= $2.18\times {10}^{-18}J$
1 mole of H =$6.023\times {10}^{23}$ atoms
so energy required for 1 mole of H = $6.023\times {10}^{23}\times 2.18\times {10}^{-18}$
energy = $13.13\times {10}^5$ J
