Assume you have one mole of hydrogen atoms. What is the ionization energy in units of kJ/mole?

Question

I am doing a "Hydrogen Line Spectrum Data and Calculations" Lab for chemisty and cannot figure out how to work this problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! :)

anonymous · Answer

this is a experimentally determined value. should deb listed int he back of your chem book under appendices. looking up the value online it is  1310 kJ/mol

if you were asked to derive the ionization energy of H from YOUR particular lab experiment. We would have to know the outline of your lab.... sorry

Hmm... what is the information that you would need from my lab outline? I'm not really sure what this question is asking.
