MCQ
For which of the following reaction $\Delta \,H^o$ value is equal to the first ionization  energy of $Ca$ is ?
  • A
    $Ca^+(g) \to Ca^{2+} (g) + e$
  • $Ca(g) \to Ca^+ (g) + e$
  • C
    $Ca(s) \to Ca^+ (g) + e$
  • D
    $Ca(g) \to Ca^{2+} (g) + 2e$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Ca(g) \to Ca^+ (g) + e$
b
The First ionization energy of an atom or moleciule is the energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atoms or ions.

so, the $\Delta H^{\circ}$ value is equal to the first ionization energy of $Ca$ is $Ca( g ) \longrightarrow Ca ^{+}( g )+e^{-}$
