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$^{-1}$]
