Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A :- Carbon forms two important oxides CO and CO2. CO is neutral whereas CO2 is acidic in nature.
Reason R : CO2 can combine with water in a limited way to form carbonic acid, while CO is sparingly soluble in water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :-

First and second ionization enthalpies of lithium are $520$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $7297$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ respectively. Energy required to convert $3.5$ mg lithium (g) into $\text{Li}^{2+}$(g) $[\text{Li(g)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^{2+}\text{(g)}]$ is _______ kJ mol$^{-1}$. (nearest integer) [Molar mass of Li $= 7$ g mol$^{-1}$]
