Chapter 23, Problem 17E
A crude model of the water molecule has a negatively charged oxygen atom and two protons, as shown in Fig. 23.12. Calculate the electrostatic energy of this configuration, which is therefore the magnitude of the energy released in forming this molecule. (Note: Your answer is an overestimate because electrons are actually “shared” among the three atoms, spending more time near the oxygen.)

- Science fiction author Larry Niven hypothesized a device that could neutralize the electric charge on the electrons in a object. When this happened, the mutual repulsion between the protons would rip the object apart on an atomic level, but rather than being instantaneous, the process took several seconds to take full effect.Suppose that this device is used on a 20.0-g block of lead, which is held rigidly fixed in place. The device neutralizes the charge of 2.3% of the electrons. Before the lead block rips itself apart, it is put into contact with a 20.0-g lead bullet which is initially uncharged. The bullet immediately contributes enough electrons to the block that the charges on the block and bullet are equal, and then the force of electrostatic repulsion launches the bullet. What is the charge on the bullet just before it launches? Assume that lead has an an atomic mass of 207.2 g/mol, and there are 82 electrons in a lead atom. -9300 C 8800 C 9300 C -8800 C 5.48 x 1022 Carrow_forwardHow much electrostatic potential energy in a hydrogen atom, which consists of one electron at a distance of 5.3 x 10-11 from the nucleus (proton)?arrow_forward
