Adapted from Experiment #38 (Shoemaker, Garland, Nibler, 1989)

1) Sample preparation

2) IR Gas-phase data collection --> here is some data, if you did not get it in lab.

3) Spectrum analysis including analysis of state populations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_chlorine
atomic masses in amu
Reduced mass, "mu" = (m1*m2)/(m1+m2)
1H 1.007825 amu (99.9885%)
35Cl 34.968853 amu (75.78%)
37Cl 36.965903 amu (24.22%)
conversion factor: 1.66054e-27 kg/amu

4) Plot "m" (x) vs the frequency (y) and fit to a second order polynomial.

5) The second order polynomial will take the form of equation 9 from (Exp 38, Shoemaker), hence you can determine alphae, and then of Be.

6) Using equation 5 and 3, then solve for "r" the average internuclear separation.
