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 Hg80+. Use the equation in Problem 8.57 to calculate the energy required for the last ionization step, that is,
Hg79+(g) → Hg80+(g) + e-
