Question

Enter your answer into the provided box. The energy needed for the following process is 1.960 times 10^4 kJ/mol: Li(g) rightarrow Li^3+(g) + 3e^- If the first ionization energy of lithium is 5.20 times 10^2 kJ/mol, calculate the second ionization energy of lithium-that is, the energy required for the process: Li^+(g) rightarrow Li^2+(g) + e^- A hydrogen-like ion is an ion containing only one electron. The energies of the electron in a hydrogen-like ion are given by E_n = -(2.18 times 10^-18 J) (Z^2) (1/n^2) where E_n is the energy of the electron in the hydrogen-like ion, n is the principal quantum number, and Z is the atomic number of the element. Second ionization energy of lithium: (Enter your answer in scientific notation)

Explanation / Answer

we know sum of IE1  + IE2  + IE3  = total ionization energy

IE1  = 5.2 x 102 KJ/mol

if we calculate IE3  from given data than we can find IE2  also

Li+2  is hydrogen like atom contain only 1 electron in it.

Li+2 ------------> Li+3  + e-   = IE3

En = (-2.18 x 10-18 J) (32)(1/12) because electron in 1s orbital so n=1 and Z = 3 foe Li

En = -1.962 x 10-17J per 1 atom

for 1 mole

En = -1.962 x 10-17 x 6.023 x 1023  

E2 = -1.134 x 107 J / mol = -1.134 x 104 KJ/mol.

so E3 (third ionization energy ) = 1.134 x 104 KJ/mol

now we know

total energy = IE1  + IE2  + IE3

1.960 x 104 KJ/mol = 5.20 x 102  + IE2   + 1.134 x 104 KJ/mol

IE2  = (1.960 x 104) - (5.20 x 102) - (1.134 x 104)

IE2 = 7.74 x 103 KJ/mol

answer = 7.74 x 103 KJ/mol
