Consider the ionic salt, KCl (potassium chloride). The attractive and repulsive energies between the ions K+ and Cl depend on the distance r between them according to the following relationships:

Er=5.86x10-6/r^9
Ea = -1.436/r
En = EA +ER

where the energies are expressed in electron volts (eV) and the distance r is in nanometers (10°m). Eis the net potential energy between the ions.

(a) Using Excel, superimpose on a single plot EN, ER, and EA versus r, for r from 0.22nm to 0.5nm. Build the spreadsheet first and then plot the functions. Hint: Use a fine enough interval between r values such that you can see a minimum EN value.
(b) On the basis of this plot, determine (i) the equilibrium spacing r0 between the K+ and Cl– ions, and (ii) the magnitude of the bonding energy E0 between the two ions.
(c) Mathematically determine the r0 and E0values using the equations above and compare these with the graphical results from part (b)

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
