Question

solve this 

1. The dissociation energy of the hydrogen molecular ion H2' is 250 kl/mol while the ionization energy
of the hydrogen atom is 13.6 ev. Let's compare the two processes.
(a) Write a chemical equation describing the dissociation of H,' into the "proper" two (not three) parts.
(b) Write a chemical equation describing the ionization of H.
(c) Express the dissociation energy of Hz' in electron-volts to compare with the ionization energy of H.
(d) Explain why ionization is more difficult than dissociation by exploring the interaction of charge (like
charges repel and opposite charges attract). Remember than energy is needed to overcome
attraction.
