The ionization energy of sodium in \(\mathrm{kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\). If electromagnetic radiation of wavelength \(242 \mathrm{~nm}\) is just sufficient to ionize sodium atom is _______.

  1. A \(494\)
  2. B \(490\)
  3. C \(499\)
  4. D \(445\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(494\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{E}=\frac{1240}{\lambda(\mathrm{nm})} \mathrm{eV}\) \(=\frac{1240}{242} \mathrm{eV}\) \(=5.12 \mathrm{eV}\) \(=5.12 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) \(=8.198 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J} / \text { atom }\) \(=494 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)
