The \(1^{st}\) ionization enthalpy for Mg is \(+737\) kJ/mol. The most probable estimated value of the \(2^{nd}\) ionization enthalpy of Mg is ______.

  1. A \(-906\) kJ/mol
  2. B \(-856\) kJ/mol
  3. C \(+1450\) kJ/mol
  4. D \(+590\) kJ/mol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+1450\) kJ/mol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom or ion. It is always an endothermic process, so its value is always positive. The second ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from a unipositive ion. Since…
