Answer to Problem 21P

Thepotential energy of attraction of the ions is 5.39eV .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The equilibrium separation of the K+ and F ions in KF is r=0.217nm .

Formula used:

The expression for potential energy of attraction is given by,

  Ue=ke2r

Calculation:

The potential energy of attraction is calculated as,

  Ue=ke2r=( 8.9× 10 9 N m 2 / C 2 ) ( 1.6× 10 19 C )2( 0.217nm)( 10 9 m 1nm )( 1.6× 10 19 J eV )=( 8.9× 10 9 N m 2 ) ( 1.6× 10 19 )2eV( 0.217× 10 9 m)( 1.6× 10 19 J)=6.64eV

Conclusion:

Therefore, the potential energy of attraction of the ions is 6.64eV .

Answer to Problem 21P

The value of dissociation energy is 5.70eV .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The ionization energy of potassium is 4.34eV

The electron affinity of Fluorine is 3.40eV

Formula used:

The expression for total potential energy of the molecule neglecting energy of repulsion is given by,

  Utot=Ue+ΔE

The expression for dissociation energy is given by,

  Ed=Utot=(Ue+ΔE)

Here, ΔE is the difference between the ionization energy of potassium and the electron affinity of fluorine.

Calculation:

Difference between the ionization energy of potassium and the electron affinity of fluorine ΔE is calculated as,

  ΔE=4.34eV3.40eV=0.94eV

The dissociation energy is calculated as,

  Ed=(Ue+ΔE)=(6.64eV+0.94eV)=5.70eV

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of dissociation energy is 5.70eV .

Answer to Problem 21P

The energy due to repulsion of the ions at the equilibrium separation is 0.63eV .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The measured dissociation energy Ed,measured=5.07eV

Formula used:

The expression for energy due to repulsion of the ions at equilibrium separation is given by,

  Urep=Ed,calculatedEd,measured

Calculation:

The energy due to repulsion of the ions at equilibrium separation is calculated as,

  Urep=Ed,calculatedEd,measured=5.70eV5.07eV=0.63eV

Conclusion:

Therefore, the energy due to repulsion of the ions at the equilibrium separation is 0.63eV
