(25 pts total) Estimate as best you can the average intera one molecule of SO2 when the the potential energy separately then add them together. Use CGS units to make th 1 ev 1.6022x101 book, but you must pay attention to units! Energies should be reported in erg) 1. between one molecule of CHs and ction energy y are a distance of S*10 cm apart. Write down any approximations and calculate each p erg. 1D - 1x10 (erg cm2)vn, (Hints: This is really a plug-and-chug problem using equations from the i.Explanation / Answer
According to the concept of the electrostatices
Given that
The charge in the CH4 molecules =Q
Charge Q=
(number of the photon in C+4*number of the photon in H) e
=(6+4*1)e
=10*1.6*10^-19=16*10^-19 C
The charge in the so2 molecular
=(16+2*8)*1.6*10^-19=51.2*10^-19 C
Distance d=5*10^-8 cm=5*10^-10 m
Now we find the potential energy
The potential energy U=Kq1q2/d
=9*10^9*16*51.2*10^-32/(5*10^-10)
=1474.6*10^-13 J
=1474.6*10^-13*10^7
=1474.6*10^-6 ergs
