The electron in LiX2+ is in the n=2 level. Take the ground-state ionisation energy of hydrogen as 13.6 eV and 1 eV per atom = 96.5kJmol−1. Calculate the energy, in kJmol−1, needed to remove this electron from 1 mol of such ions. Give the answer to the nearest integer.
Numerical answer type, answer in kJ/mol, tolerance 1.
Answer: 2953 kJ/mol
Energy of level n in a one-electron ion is −13.6Z2/n2 eV. Here this is 13.6 x 9/4 = 30.6 eV. Per mole: 30.6 x 96.5 = 2952.9, so about 2953 kJ/mol.
