*17.17. In Table 17.3 and Problem 17.16 the dispersion energies of noble gases were calculated for a constant interatomic distance of 500
pm. More realistic values are:
He Ne Ar Kr Xe
Interatomic distances/pm 240 320 380 400 420
Recalculate the dispersion energies for these distances, and again plot the five values against the boiling points, which were given in
Problem 17.16.
The experimental value for the enthalpy of vaporization of liquid argon is 6.7 kJ mol–1. Make an estimate of the enthalpy of vaporization
from your calculated value of Ep (at 380 pm), assuming the liquid to have a close-packed structure with each atom having 12 nearest
neighbors.
Solution:
Given: Table 17.3, Problem 17.16, r = 500 pm,
Required: Ed, plot Ed against Tb
The values previously calculated (Problem 17.16) will be multiplied by the factor

*17.18. Estimate the interaction energy between an argon atom and a water molecule at a separation of 600 pm, which is approximately the
distance of closest approach. The necessary data are: H2O: dipole moment, μ = 6.18 × 10–30 C m; Ar: polarizability, α = 1.63 × 10–
30
m3.
Argon forms a solid hydrate, Ar ⋅ 5H2O, but the binding energy between Ar and H2O is about 40 kJ mol–1, which is a good deal
larger than the energy calculated from the dipole moment and polarizability. Suggest a reason for this discrepancy.
Solution:
Given: r = 600 pm, μH2O = 6.18 × 10 –30 C m, α Ar = 1.63 ×10 –30 m3 , Ebinding = 40 kJ mol –1

This value is far lower that the binding energy between Ar ⋅ 5H 2 O of 40 kJ mol-1 since there would be additional hydrogen bonding between
neighbouring water molecules.

can be formulated in a different way by expressing A and B in terms of the minimum energy Emin and the value r0 of r at the
minimum energy. Obtain the expression for E in terms of Emin and r0.
b. If r* is the value of r when E = 0, obtain the relationship between r* and r0.
c. The Lennard-Jones potential is often used with n = 12, and the equations are then simpler. Obtain E in terms of Emin and r0 and in
terms of Emin and r*, for this special case of n = 12.
Solution:
Given: Lennard-Jones potential
Required: a. E in terms of Emin and r0
b. relationship between r* and r0
c. E in terms of Emin and r0, and in terms of Emin and r* for n = 12
a. We begin by taking the derivative of the Lennard-Jones potential and set it equal to zero. The resulting value of r corresponds to r0.
