Ist and IInd IE of Mg are 7.646 and 15.035 eV respectively. The amount of energy (in units of kJ/mol) needed to convert all the atoms of magnesium into ions present in 12 mg of magnesium vapours is [Given, ]

Answer: (C)

Solution

Total energy required to convert one Mg atom into is IE_1 + IE_2 = 7.646 + 15.035 = 22.681\ eV = 22.681 \times 96.5 = 2188.7\ kJ\ mol^{-1}. Moles of Mg in 12 mg $=
