Calculate the Coulombic force of attraction between Na+ and Cl- in a 0.35 M aqueous solution. The elementary charge is 1.602 x 10-19 C, the dielectric constant is 78.5 and the permittivity of vacuum is 8.854 x 10-12 C2 N-1 m-2.
Will ion pairing between Na+ and Cl- occur at 310K under those conditions and why?
FORMULA :
COULOMBIC FORCE OF ATTRACTION , F = Kq1q2 / r2
here , K = 9*109 , q1 =q2 = 1.602*10-19
permitivity vacuum , r = 8.854*10-12
F = (9*109) * (1.602*10-19 ) * (1.602*10-19 ) / 8.854*10-12
F = 2.61 * 10-12 J
