Question

A Review problem. A $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ ion and a $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ion are separated by a distance of $5.00 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m} .$ Assuming the two ions act like charged particles, determine (a) the force each ion exerts on the other and (b) the potential energy of the two-ion system in electron volts.

Step 1

99 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2/C^2$), $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges of the ions, and $r$ is the distance between them. For a $\mathrm{K}^+$ ion, the charge is $q_1 = +e$, and for a $\mathrm{Cl}^-$ ion, the charge is $q_2 = -e$. The elementary charge $e$ is $1.60 \times Show more…
