How much energy will be released when a sodium ion and a chloride ion, originally at infinite distance are brought together to a distance of 2.76Ã… (the shortest distance of approach in a sodium chloride crystal)? Assume that ions act as point charges, each with a magnitude of `1.6xx10^(-19)C`. Permittivity constant of the medium is `9xx10^(9)Nm^(2)C^(-2)`. |

Answer» Energy released `=-K(q_(1)q_(2))/(r)` `=-(9xx10^(9)xx(1.6xx10^(-19))^(2))/(2.76xx10^(-10))=-8.35xx10^(-19)J`. |
