NEET Chemistry Ionization Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Calculate the ionization enthalpy of atomic hydrogen in kJ mol⁻¹, given that the energy of an electron in the ground state of hydrogen is -2.18×10⁻¹⁸ J.

A

1.31 × 10³ kJ mol⁻¹

B

1.31 × 10² kJ mol⁻¹

C

1.31 × 10⁴ kJ mol⁻¹

D

1.31 kJ mol⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The ionization enthalpy is calculated by converting the energy per atom in J (–2.18×10⁻¹⁸ J) to energy per mole, using Avogadro's number: (–2.18×10⁻¹⁸ J/atom) × (6.022×10²³ atoms/mol) = 1.31 × 10³ kJ mol⁻¹.
