Question

31: The graph shows the potential energy of a system of two ions as a function of
separation
Note that : 1 aJ = 1 10-18 J and
1 nm = 1 * 10-9 m.)

Separation/nm
The system of the two ions has a total mechanical energy of -0.5 * 10-17 J. What is the range
of possible values for the distance between the two ions? At what separation do the ions have
minimum kinetic energy? What is the maximum possible kinetic energy of the ions? What energy
is required to break apart this ionic molecule?​
