QUESTION:

Plasma is a state of matter consisting of positive gaseous ions and electrons. In the plasma state a mercury atom could be stripped of its 80 electrons and therefore would exist as \(\mathrm{Hg}^{80+}\). Use the equation in Problem 8.57 to calculate the energy required for the last ionization step, that is,

\(\mathrm{Hg}^{79+}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Hg}^{80+}(g)+e^{-}\)
