Problem21 73

1) The document calculates the mass of sodium and chlorine ions in 0.100 mol of NaCl. 2) It then calculates the total charge of the ions as 9630 C and the force between the ions as 2.09 × 10^21 N. 3) Given the large force between the ions, the document concludes it does not seem reasonable that the sodium and chlorine ions could be separated in the way described.

21.73: a)  0.100 mol NaCl ⇒ m Na = (0.100 mol)(22.99 g mol ) = 2.

30 g
⇒ m Cl = (0.100 mol)(35.45 g mol ) = 3.55 g
Also the number of ions is (0.100 mol) N A = 6.02 × 10 22 so the charge is:
q = (6.02 ×10 22 )(1.60 ×10 −19 C) = 9630 C. The force between two such charges is:
1 q2 1 (9630 ) 2
F= 2
= 2
= 2.09 ×10 21 N.
4πε 0 r 4πε 0 (0.0200 m)
b)  a = F / m = (2.09 ×10 21 N) (3.55 ×10 −3 kg ) = 5.89 ×10 23 m s 2 .
c) With such a large force between them, it does not seem reasonable to think the
sodium and chlorine ions could be separated in this way.
