Solved: The standard enthalpy of atomization of an element
Chapter 8, Problem 112P(choose chapter or problem)
The standard enthalpy of atomization of an element is the energy required to convert one mole of an element in its most stable form at \(\mathrm{25^{\circ}C}\) to one mole of monatomic gas. Given that the standard enthalpy of atomization for sodium is 108.4 kJ/mol, calculate the energy in kilojoules required to convert one mole of sodium metal at \(\mathrm{25^{\circ}C}\) to one mole of gaseous \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\) ions.
