The first and second ionisation enthalpies of a metal are and
, respectively. How many moles of
and
, respectively, will be needed to react completely with 1 mole of the metal hydroxide ?
According to the given data of I.E, this element must belong to group 1, and thus it is monovalent and forms hydroxide of the type M(OH).
Thus, from the reaction stoichiometry it is clear that 1 mole of the metal hydroxide requires 1 mole and 0.5 moles of HCl and H2SO4 respectively for complete neutralisation.
Hence, the option number (2) is correct.
