Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17.1QE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The sign of work has to be defined and the relation to the total energy of the system has to be related.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Work is defined as force acting through a distance. When work is done on the system, the sign of ‘w’ is positive. When the work is done by the system (or done on the surrounding), the sign of work ‘w’ is negative.
The relation of work to the total energy of the system is that ‘work is simply the part of energy change of the system’.

- (a) Verify that the lattice energies of the alkali metal iodides are inversely proportional to the distances between the ions in MI (M = alkali metal) by plotting the lattice energies given below against the internuclear distances dMI. Is the correlation good? Would a better fit be obtained by plotting the lattice energies as a function of (1 — d*/d)/d, as theoretically suggested, with d* = 34.5 pm? You must use a standard graphing program to plot the graph. It generates an equation for the line and calculates a correlation coefficient.
