Chapter 8.5, Problem 1PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnitude of partial charges in HBr is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The magnitude of partial charges is calculated by the expression as follows:

$Q=\frac{\mu }{r}$

The value of dipole moment is measured in Coulomb meter and the bond length should be taken in meter.

The relation between $\text{m}$ and ${\text{A}}^{\text{o}}$ can be expressed as:

${\text{1 A}}^{\text{o}}=1\times {10}^{-10}\text{m}$

To convert ${\text{A}}^{\text{o}}$ to $\text{m}$, conversion factor is $\frac{1\times {10}^{-10}\text{m}}{1\text{A}°}$

The relation between $\text{D}$ and $\text{Cm}$ can be expressed as:

$\text{1 D}=3.336\times {10}^{-30}\text{Cm}$

To convert $\text{D}$ to $\text{Cm}$, conversion factor is $\frac{3.336\times {10}^{-30}\text{C}.\text{m}}{1\text{D}}$
