What is the charge on a small sphere that is attracted to another sphere having charge
Interpretation:
The charge on a small sphere that is attracted to another sphere is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The force of attraction between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The formula for determining force of attraction is given below.
In the above equation,

The Madelung constant for the KCl structure is 1.748 and the distance between ions of opposite sign is 0.314 nm. On the basis of these data only, compute the cohesive energy of KCl per ion pair. (b) The observed cohesive energy of KCl is 6.42 eV per ion pair. On theassumption that the difference between this figure and that obtained in (a) is due to the exclusion principle repulsion, find the exponent n in the formula Br^-n for the potential energy arising from this source.arrow_forwardIdentify the ions in a mixture containing Cu2+, N3-, O2-, Ca2+, Al3+, Te3-, and H+, that would be attracted to the positive end of an electric field.arrow_forward

(b) Do compounds ofhydrogen exhibit a relatively large or small kinetic isotope ef-fect? Explain. (c) Carbon compounds also exhibit a kinetic iso-tope effect. How do you expect it to compare in magnitude with that for hydrogen compounds? Why?arrow_forwardTwo identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude F due to the other. With time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres. When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, what will the magnitude of the electrostatic force be?arrow_forward
