It is possible to determine the ionization energy for hydrogen using the Bohr equation. Calculate the ionization energy (in kJ) for a mole of hydrogen atoms, making the assumption that ionization is the transition from

Answer :

Answer:

The ionization energy  for a mole of hydrogen atoms is 1,312.17 kiloJoules.

Explanation:

Energy of the nth orbit by Bohr was given by:

[tex]E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}eV[/tex]

where,

[tex]E_n[/tex] = energy of [tex]n^{th}[/tex] orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number

Energy of the first shell(n=1) in hydrogen atom:

Z = 1

[tex]E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6 V[/tex]

Energy of the first shell(n=∞) in hydrogen atom:

Z = 1

[tex]E_{\infty }=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{(\infty ^2)}eV=0[/tex]

Ionization energy of hydrogen atom,I.E : 1  → ∞

[tex]I.E=E_{\infty }-E_1=0-(-13.6 eV)=13.6 eV[/tex]

[tex]1 eV = 1.60218\times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

[tex]13.6 eV=13.6\times 1.60218\times 10^{-19} J=2.179\times 10^{-18} J[/tex]

[tex]2.179\times 10^{-18} J=2.179\times 10^{-21} kJ[/tex] (1kJ = 1000J)

Ionization energy of 1 mol = E

1 mol = [tex]N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} [/tex] atoms

[tex]E= 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 2.179\times 10^{-21} kJ=1,312.17 kJ[/tex]

The ionization energy  for a mole of hydrogen atoms is 1,312.17 kiloJoules.
