(a) Calculate the energies of an electron in the hydrogen

Chapter 3, Problem 38E

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Calculate the energies of an electron in the hydrogen atom for n = 1 and for \(n=\infty\). How much energy does it require to move the electron out of the atom completely (from n = 1 to \(n=\infty\) ), according to Bohr? Put your answer in kJ/mol.

(b) The energy for the process \(\mathrm{H}+\) energy \(\rightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{e}^{-}\) is called the ionization energy of hydrogen. The experimentally determined value for the ionization energy of hydrogen is 1310 kJ/mol. How does this compare to your calculation?
