MCQ
The second ionization potential is
  • A
    Less than the first ionization potential
  • B
    Equal to the first ionization potential
  • Greater than the first ionization potential
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
Greater than the first ionization potential
c
(c) Greater than the first ionization energy because after removal one ${e^ - }$, effective nuclear charge increases.

Based on the following thermochemical equations

${H_2}O\left( g \right) + C\left( s \right) \to CO\left( g \right) + {H_2}\left( g \right);\Delta H = 131\,kJ$

$CO\left( g \right) + \frac{1}{2}{O_2}\left( s \right) \to C{O_2}\left( g \right);\Delta H =  - 282\,kJ$

${H_2}\left( g \right) + \frac{1}{2}{O_2}\left( s \right) \to {H_2}O\left( g \right);\Delta H =  - 242\,kJ$

$C(s) + O_2(g) \to CO_2(g); \Delta H = X\,kJ$
