24 g of magnesium in the vapour state absorb 1200 kJ of energy. If IE_1 and IE_2 of magnesium are 750 and 1450 kJ mol^(-1) respectively, the final composition of mixture is

Answer»

0.69 MOL `MG^(+)` and 0.31 mol `Mg^(2+)`
0.59 mol `Mg^(+)` and 0.41 mol `Mg^(2+)`
0.49 mol `Mg^(+)` and 0.51 mol `Mg^(2+)`
0.29 mol `Mg^(+)` and 0.71 mol `Mg^(2+)`

Solution :Molar MASS of Mg =24 g `mol^(-1)`
`:.` Amount of Mg=1 mol
THUS, 750 kJ of energy is used up to convert 1 mol of Mg to `Mg^(+)`
Energy used to convert `Mg^(+)` to `Mg^(2+)`
`=1200-750 =450 kJ`
`:.` Amount of magnesium converted to `Mg^(2+)`
`=(450 kJ)/(1450) =0.31 mol`
`:. ` Amount of magnesium converted to `Mg^(+)`
=1-0.31 =0.69 mol
