Detailed Solution

Number of electrons present in H is one and there is zero electrons in H+. Energy required for the formation of H from H+ is -13.6 eV.

Number of electrons present in He is 2. For conversion of He2+ to He, four electrons are needed. 

According to Bohr's model, energy released from an atom is calculated as:

E=-13.6z2n2

Here, z is the atomic number and n is the number of electrons.

The energy required for the conversion of He2+ to He is done by adding energies for the conversion of He2+ to He+ and He+ to He.

Energy=EHe2+He++EHe+He (1)

Energy needed for conversion of He2+ to He+ is calculated as:

EHe2+He+=-13.622(1)2 eV =-54.4 eV

Energy for the conversion of He+ to He is given as -24.6 eV.

Substitute both energy values in equation (1).

Energy=-24.6 eV+(-54.4 eV) =-79 eV
