The moment of inertia of water molecule about an axis bisecting the HOH angle is1.91x10-47 kg m2. Its minimum angular momentum about that axis (other than zero) is ℏ. Inclassical terms, how many revolutions per second do the hydrogen atoms make about the axiswhen in that state? Calculate the rotational constant (cm-1) and bond length of H2O. Does the bondlength seem reasonable?

To determine the equilibrium separation of the atoms in the HCl molecule, you measure the rotational spectrum of HCl. You find that the spectrum contains these wavelengths (among others): 60.4 mm, 69.0 mm, 80.4 mm, 96.4 mm, and 120.4 mm. (a) Use your measured wavelengths to find the moment of inertia of the HCl molecule about an axis through the center of mass and perpendicular to the line joining the two nuclei. (b) The value of l changes by +-1 in rotational transitions. What value of l for the upper level of the transition gives rise to each of these wavelengths? (c) Use your result of part (a) to calculate the equilibrium separation of the atoms in the HCl molecule. The mass of a chlorine atom is 5.81 * 10-26 kg, and the mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67 * 10-27 kg. (d) What is the longest-wavelength line in the rotational spectrum of HCl?

- (a) In an HCl molecule, take the Cl atom to be the isotope 35Cl. The equilibrium separation of the H and Cl atoms is 0.127 46 nm. The atomic mass of the H atom is 1.007 825 u and that of the 35Cl atom is 34.968 853 u. Calculate the longest wavelength in the rotational spectrum of this molecule. (b) What If? Repeat the calculation in part (a), but take the Cl atom to be the isotope 37Cl, which has atomic mass 36.965 903 u. The equilibrium separation distance is the same as in part (a).
