Chapter 3, Problem 25P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The dissociation energy of gaseous $\text{KCl}$ into K and Cl atoms should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The dissociation energy is calculated by the formula as shown below:

  $\Delta {\text{E}}_d=\frac{q_1{q}_2}{4\pi {\in }_0{R}_e}\times \frac{N_A}{{10}^3}-\Delta E_{\infty }$

Where,

• $N_A$ represents Avogadro’s number
• $\Delta {\text{E}}_d$ represents dissociation energy
• $R_e$ represents the distance between the ions
