We are asked to calculate the inter-atomic equilibrium distance (r_e) for KCl, given: * Lattice energy (U = 163.0 , \text{kcal/mol}) * Repulsive exponent (n = 8.6) * Madelung constant (A = 1.75) We will solve this numerically step by step. --- Step 1: Write the lattice energy formula For an ionic crystal, using the Born-Landé equation: [ U = \frac{A z^+ z^- e^2}{r_e} \left(1 - \frac{1}{n}\right) ] Where: * (A =) Madelung constant * (z^+ = 1), (z^- = 1) (charges of K(^+)
