Accuracy refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value. Precision refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other. ... The number of significant figures is the number of digits believed to be correct by the person doing the measuring.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, $F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N$

Distance, $r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m$

(a) $F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$ , q is the charge on the ion

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.
