Suppose a chloride ion and a sodium ion are separated by a center—center distance of 5 Å. Is
the interaction energy (the energy required to pull them infinitely far apart) predicted to be larger if the medium between them is water, or if it is n-pentane? (See Table 2.5)
If Ca2+, Na+ and F¯ each have ionic radii ~1.16. Which ionic bond is stronger: Ca-F or Na-F? If Ca2+ is often bound on the surface of a protein by carboxylic acid

Nonhydrogen-bonding liquida
Interpretation:
Interaction energy will be more in which of the given ion pairs must be predicted. The stronger ionic bond must be predicted among the given ionic compounds. In which of the given pH the interaction between
Concept introduction:
Ionic interaction depends on Columbic interaction which depends on the charge of ions and distance by which those ions are separated. It aslo depends on the dielectric constant of the medium and the viscosity of the medium. The ionic bond is stronger when the size of the ions is small, charge in ions is high. Lattice energy depends on Columbic interaction. The bond between
Answer to Problem 1P
The interaction energy between sodium ion and chlorine ion will be larger in case of n-pentane.
Explanation of Solution
The interaction of ion pair will be more in case of n-pentane.
This is because the dielectric constant of n-pentane is
Now,
This is because of Columbic interaction
where
As calcium ion has the double charge of sodium ion so
The
This is because at pH greater than
So, the best pH is

- measured by molarity (M), which is the number of moles per liter of solution (moles/L). For example, 1M = 1 mole/L. To determine how many grams of a substance is equal to one mole the molecular mass is needed (we will not explore this in this lab rather this is taught in your Chemistry subjects). The general formula for making a dilution solution is the following: CıV1 = C2V2 where C: = the original concentration of stock solution Vi = the volume of stock solution needed to make working solution C2 = the desired concentration of working solution V: = the desired final volume of working solution For Educational Purposes Only SLSU-TO/NCMatondo 18 What would be the working stock concentration (in molarity) if you diluted 250 ul of a stock concentration of 10 µM in a total volume of 1 mL?
