The answer is: the distance between two nuclei is 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m.
r(Na⁺) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of sodium cation.
r(F⁻) = 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m; radius of fluoride anion.
d(NaF) = r(Na⁺) + r(F⁻).
d(NaF) = 1.16×10⁻¹⁰ m + 1.9×10⁻¹⁰ m.
d(NaF) = 2.35×10⁻¹⁰ m; distance between two nuclei.
The sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion gives the distance between the ions in a crystal lattice.

Since one atmosphere is 29.9213 inches of mercury, we can simply find this by taking 29.9213 and multiplying that by 1.24. You end up with 37.102412 inches of mercury. I hope this helps you out, and good luck on the rest of your homework.
