I am self studying chemistry through MiT ocw 5.111 . On practice exam 2 problem 2 there is a question which states the following
element ionization energy electron affinity Potassium(K) 418 kJ/mol 48 kJ/mol Fluorine(F) 1680 kJ/mol 328 kJ/mol Chlorine(Cl) 1255 kJ/mol 349 kJ/mol
(a) (12 points) The ionic bond length for KF is 0.217 nm. Calculate the energy (in units of kJ/mol required to dissociate a single molecule of KF into the neutral atoms K and F, using information provided above. For this calculation, assume that the potassium and fluorine ions are point charges.
I proceeded to calculate the bond dissociation energy using the following formula $U(r)=\frac{z_1z_2e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r}$ from which I obtained a dissociation energy of $-640$ kJ/mol. Then left with two ions F$^{-1}$ and K$^{+1}$. I went on to determine their ionization energies and electron affinities respectively.
To make F$^{-1}\to$ F +$e^{-}$ an electron must be lost thus warranting an ionization energy of $-1680$ kJ/mol and. To make K$^{+1}$+$e^{-} \to$ K and electron must be gained thus referring to the election affinity of K of $18$ kJ/mol. When equated as (Energy Required - Energy Released) I arrive at
(Dissociation Energy + Ionization Energy) - Electron Affinity = (-640 kJ/ mol - 1680 kJ/mol) + 48 kJ/mol = -2272 kJ/mol required
However I see in the answer key this is incorrect could someone guide me as to where I am going wrong here thank you.
