Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties - Result Question 17

####17. What is the value of electron gain enthalpy of Na+if IE1 of Na=5.1eV ?

(a) 5.1eV

(b) 10.2eV

(c) +2.55eV

(d) +10.2eV

Show Answer

Solution:

(a) IE1 of Na= Electron gain enthalpy of Na+ =5.1eV.

In this question, temperature is to be defined as absolute zero. This is due to the fact that ionization energy and electron affinity are defined at absolute zero temperature.

Ionization enthalpy = ionization energy +52RT

Electron gain enthalpy=electron affinity 52RT
