The document provides instructions to calculate the Coulomb energy for NaCl at its equilibrium separation. It states that the Coulomb energy at equilibrium is given by the equation Ueq = -1/4竜0(e2/R), where e is the elementary charge, 竜0 is the vacuum permittivity, and R is the equilibrium separation distance between Na and Cl. It then provides the values to use in the calculation, resulting in a Coulomb energy of -8.9556 eV.
