The I. II and III I.E. of al are 578, 1817 and 2745 kJ/mol - 1 respectively. Calculate the energy required to convert all the atoms of Al to Al3 - present in 270 mg of Al vapours.
Open in App
Solution
Energy required to convert 1 mole of Al to Al3+ = IE1+IE2+IE3=578+1817+2745=5140kJ
∴ Moles of Al in 270 mg = 270×10−327=0.01moles
Therefore, total energy required = 5140×0.01kJ=51.4kJ
