Determining bond lengths from rotational constant
« on: April 30, 2006, 03:31:38 PM »
Hello,
The question that I would appreciate aid on would be:

The rotational constant B for CO2 was found from rotational Raman spectra to be B = 0.3937/cm. Determine the C=O bond length from this value.

Thanks!

Use the rigid rotor model to solve

Do work out the moment of inertia from that and then work out the bond length?
How would I work out the bond length from the moment of inertia of CO2?

B = h/8.Pi2.c.I

I = meffectiveR2
