In class we said that an approximate form for the bond stretch potential is V = k. -stretch (r-r)². Derive an expression for the root mean squared (RMS) stretch deviation of the bond length from ro at temperature T. What value of Kstretch would you need at 300K for the RMS deviation to be 5% the length of a typical C-C single bond? What is the force (magnitude and direction) on one of the atoms in a C-C bond that is stretched 7% longer than ro?

We can use the classical harmonic oscillator to think about molecular bonds. The HCI molecule has a force constant k = 481 N/m. For the mass, use the reduced mass, which is defined as µ = (m₁m₂)/(m₁+m₂). a) Plot the potential energy of HCl from -1 to 1 Å. What happens to the curvature of the potential as the force constant is varied? What does this mean physically? b) Plot position as a function of time for a total energy of 6 x 10-20 J. What is the period of the motion? How does the period change as the force constant is varied? Explain why this makes sense physically.
The Morse potential energy is very useful as a simple representation of the actual molecular potential energy. When 85Rb1H was studied, it was found that ˜ν = 936.8 cm−1 and x_eν˜ = 14.15 cm−1. Plot the potential energy curve from 50 pm to 800 pm aroundRe = 236.7 pm. Then go on to explore how the rotation of a molecule may weaken its bond by allowing for the kinetic energy of rotation of a molecule and plotting V∗ = V + hcBJ˜ (J + 1) with B˜. Plot these curves on the same diagram for J = 40, 80, and 100, and observe how the dissociation energy is affected by the rotations. Hints: Taking B˜ = 3.020 cm−1 as the equilibrium bond length will greatly simplify the calculation. The mass of 85Rb is 84.9118mu

The bond in 'H*Cl molecule and Ar2 is characterized by the force constant k 480 Nm-1 and k = 0.160 Nm-1. Assume that the molecule is described by a quan- tum harmonic oscillator. • What are the zero-point energies and the uncertainty in the bond length for these two molecules? • What will be the effect of deuteration (i.e., exchanging 'H with 2H) and the isotopic exchange of 35CI with 37CI on the zero point energy respectively if the force constant remains the same? Based on your result, determine the resolution of the spectrom- eter in cm- respectively in order to see the change by these two isotopic exchange and compare.
