    Ionization And Electron Gain Enthalpy

    Ionization Energy and Electron Affinity

    Ionization energy and electron affinity are defined at absolute zero. At any other temperature, heat capacities for the reactants and the products have to be taken into account.

    \begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{M}^{+}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{e}^{-} \text {(for ionization) }} \\ {\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{M}^{-}(\mathrm{g}) \text { (for electron gain) }}\end{array}

    at temperature, T is

    \Delta_{r} H^{\ominus}(T)=\Delta_{r} H^{\ominus}(0)+\int_{0}^{T} \Delta_{r} C_{p}^{\ominus} d T

    The value of Cp for each species in the above reaction is 5/2 R (CV = 3/2R)

    \begin{aligned} \text { So, } \Delta_{r} C_{p}^{\ominus} &=+5 / 2 \mathrm{R} \text { (for ionization) } \\ \Delta_{I} C_{p}^{\ominus} &=-5 / 2 \mathrm{R} \text { (for electron gain) } \end{aligned}

    Therefore,

    \begin{array}{l}{\Delta_{r} H^{\ominus}(\text { ionization enthalpy })} {=E_{0}(\text { ionization energy })+5 / 2 \mathrm{RT}} \\ {\Delta_{r} H^{\ominus}(\text { electron gain enthalpy) }} {=-\mathrm{A}(\text { electron affinity) }-5 / 2 \mathrm{RT}}\end{array}
