Energy of an electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is `-2.18xx10(-18)J`. Calculate the ionization enthalpy of atomic hydrogen in terms of J `"mol"^(-1)`.
Hint: Apply the idea of mole concept to derive the answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The energy required to remove an electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom
=-(its energy in the ground state)=-`(-2.18xx10^(-18))`
`2.18xx10^(-18)`
`:.` IE per mol of hydrogen atoms
`=(2.18xx10^(-18)xx6.02xx10^(23))/(1000)kJ`
`=13.12.36 kJ "mol"^(-1)`
