Detailed Solution

 

The number of Mg atoms=124=4.167×10-2 mol

absorbed power while ionizing magnesium to Mg+ Mg+=4.167×10-2×740

the power used to create ions Mg+ to Mg2+ =(50-30.84)KJ =19.16KJ

Amount of Mg+ converted to Mg2+=19.101450

=1.321×102mol

Mg+ staying in that form in that amount 

=4.167×1021.321×102

=2.846×102mol 

The following would make up the final mixture:

% of Mg+=2.846×1024.167×102×100=68.3% 

% of Mg2+=10068.3=31.7%
