Answer»

`31%MG^(+)+ 69 % Mg^(2+)`
`69% Mg^(+)+ 31 %Mg^(2+)`
`86 % Mg^(+) + 14% Mg^(2+)`
`14% Mg^(+)+ 86%Mg^(2+)`

SOLUTION :Energyabsorbed inthe ionizationof 1 moleof Mg (g)to `Mg^(+)` ( g) =750 k J
Energyleft UNUSED= 1200- 750kJ
`% ` of`Mg^(+) (g)`convertedinto `Mg^(2+)(g)`
`= (450 )/(1450 )xx 100= 31%`
Thusthe% of`Mg^(+)(g) =100 - 31 = 69 %`
