Solved: In ionic solids such as NaCl (salt), the potential energy of a pair of ions

Chapter 7, Problem 50

(choose chapter or problem)

In ionic solids such as NaCl (salt), the potential energy of a pair of ions takes the form U = b/rn - a/r, where r is the separation of the ions. For NaCl, a and b have the SI values 4.04 *10-28 and 5.52*10-98, respectively, and n = 8.22. Find the equilibrium separation in NaCl.
