In this and following chapter's, more difficult problems are indicated by an asterisk.
A chloride ion and a sodium ion are separated by a center-center distance of 0.5 nm. Calculate the interaction energy (the energy required to pull them infinitely far apart) if the medium between them is (a) water and (b) n-pentane (see Table 2.6). Express the energy in joules per mole of ion pairs. [Note: The charge on an electron is 1.602 × 10 19 C, Avogadro's number is 6.02 × 10 23 molecules/mol.]

Explanation
a). Interaction energy in water:
E = 3536.17 Joules / mol or 3. 54 kJ /mol.
b). Interaction energy in n-pentane:
E = 150940.5 Joules / mol or 151. 00 kJ /mol.

b). Interaction energy in n-pentane:
