One model for the potential energy of a two-atom molecule, where the atoms are separated by a distance r, is U(r) = U0 [(r0 / r)16 - (r0 / r)9] where r0 = 0.70 nm and U0 = 7.0 eV. Note: 1 eV = 1.6*10-19 J. You can use SI units, but CAPA will also accept these units that will simplify your calculations: [Force] = eV/nm[Energy] = eV[distance] = nm
r_eq = 7.6 *10^-1 nm
If the distance between the atoms increases from equilibrium by r1 = 0.20 nm, then what is the force from one atom on the other associated with this potential energy? (Enter your answer as postive if they repel each other, and negative if they attract). F_r (r_eq +r_1) = ?
The atoms are oscillating back and forth. The maximum separation of the atoms is r2 = 2.2 nm. What is the kinetic energy of the atoms when they are separated by the equilibrium distance? K(r_eq) = ?
One model for the potential energy of a two-atom molecule, where the atoms are separated by a distance r, is
U(r) = Uo[()13 – (4)1
where ro = 0.7 nm and Ug = 7.1 ev.
Note: 1 eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J.
Some helpful units:
[Force] = eV/nm
[Energy] = eV
[distance] = nm
The potential energy function for either one of the two atoms in a diatomic molecule is often approximated by U(x) = −a/x12 − b/x6 where x is the distance between the atoms. (a) At what distance of seperation does the potential energy have a local minimum (not at x = ∞)? (b) What is the force on an atom at this separation? (c) How does the force vary with the separation distance?
