A magnesium ion, Mg2+, with a charge of 3.2×10−19C and an oxide ion, O2−, with a charge of −3.2×10−19C, are separated by a distance of 0.25 nm. How much work would be required to increase the separation of the two ions to an infinite distance?

Explanation:

Formula for work done is as follows.

           W = [tex]-k \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d}[/tex]    

where,  k = proportionality constant = [tex]8.99 \times 10^{9} Jm/C^{2}[/tex]

            [tex]q_{1} = charge of Mg^{2+} = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} C[/tex]

            [tex]q_{2} = charge of O_{2-} = -3.2 \times 10^{-19} C[/tex]

            d = separation distance = 0.45 nm = [tex]0.45 \times 10^{-9} m[/tex]

Now, we will put the given values into the above formula and calculate work done as follows.

         W = [tex]-k \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d}[/tex]    

           = [tex]\frac{-[8.99 \times 10^{9} Jm/C^{2} \times 3.2 \times 10^{-19} C \times -3.2 \times 10^{-19} C]}{0.25 \times 10^{-9} m}[/tex]  

           = [tex]3.68 \times 10^{-18} J[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that work required to increase the separation of the two ions to an infinite distance is [tex]3.68 \times 10^{-18} J

The amount of work required to increase the separation of the two ions to an infinite distance is [tex]3.68[/tex] × [tex]10^{-18}\;Joules[/tex].

Given the following data:

  • Quantity of [tex]Mg^{2+}[/tex] = [tex]3.2[/tex] × [tex]10^{-19}\;C[/tex]
  • Quantity of [tex]O^{2-}[/tex] = [tex]-3.2[/tex] × [tex]10^{-19}\;C[/tex]
  • Distance = 0.25 nm = [tex]0.25[/tex] × [tex]10^{-9}\;m[/tex]

We know that the constant of proportionality is equal to [tex]8.99[/tex] × [tex]10^{9}\; Jm/C^2[/tex]

To find how much work would be required to increase the separation of the two ions to an infinite distance:

Mathematically, the work done in separating two charges is given by the formula:

[tex]Work =-k \frac{q_1q_2}{d}[/tex]

Where:

  • d is the distance between two charges.
  • [tex]q_1 \;and \;q_2[/tex] are the two charges respectively.
  • k is the constant of proportionality.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

[tex]Work =-8.99(10^{9}) \frac{[3.2(10^{-19})(-3.2(10^{-19})}{0.25(10^{-9})}\\\\Work = -8.99(10^{9}) \frac{-1.024(10^{-37})}{0.25(10^{-9})}\\\\Work = \frac{9.21(10^{-28})}{0.25(10^{-9})}[/tex]

Work = [tex]3.68[/tex] × [tex]10^{-18}\;Joules[/tex]
