Answer: the electrostatic potential energy is -3.26 × 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
I think the value of electrostatic potential energy of calcium sulfide CaS formed will be less(more negative) than KCl because the Ca2+ and S2- ions has more charge that is +2 and -2 respectively when compared to Kcl which has +1 and -1 charge.so it will be more negative.
radius = r + r
= 100 + 184 = 284 pm = 2.84 × 10⁻¹⁰ m
we know that; k = 2.31 × 10⁻²⁸ J
q1 = 2 ( charge on Ca⁺² )
q2 = -2( charge on S⁻²)
so
Ep = k × q1q2/r
so we substitute
Ep = 2.31 × 10⁻²⁸ × (+2×-2) / 2.84 × 10⁻¹⁰
Ep = (2.31 × 10⁻²⁸ × -4) / 2.84 × 10⁻¹⁰
Ep = -9.24 × 10⁻²⁸ / 2.84 × 10⁻¹⁰
Ep = -3.26 × 10⁻¹⁸ J
Therefore, the electrostatic potential energy is -3.26 × 10⁻¹⁸ J
