HELLO ABHUSHEK,
Total energy needed to convert one Mg atom into Mg2+ gas ion = IE1 + IE2
                                                                                                     =  7.646 + 15.035
                                                                                                      = 22.681 eV
                                                                                                       => 2188.6Kj/mol
12 mg of Mg = 0.5 X 10^-3 mol
therefore,
total energy = 0.5 X 10^-3 X 2188.6
                  =          1.0943Kj
THANK YOU
