Question

Answer

Rotational constant and fundamental frequency relationship
The rotational constant (B) of a diatomic molecule is related to its fundamental frequency (ν) by the equation:

B = h/(8π²cI) * ν

where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and I is the moment of inertia of the molecule.

Calculating DBR
To calculate the rotational constant and fundamental frequency of DBr, we can use the fact that the moment of inertia of DBr is approximately twice that of HBr, since deuterium is twice as heavy as hydrogen. Therefore:

I(DBr) ≈ 2I(HBr)

Using the equation above, we can solve for the rotational constant of DBr:

B(DBr) = h/(8π²cI(DBr)) * ν(DBr)
≈ h/(8π²c(2I(HBr))) * ν(DBr)
= 1/2 * B(HBr)

Since the rotational constant of HBr is given as 20 cm-1, the rotational constant of DBr is approximately:

B(DBr) ≈ 1/2 * 20 cm-1
= 10 cm-1

Next, we can use the relationship between rotational constant and fundamental frequency to solve for the fundamental frequency of DBr:

ν(DBr) = B(DBr) * h/(8π²cI(DBr))
≈ 10 cm-1 * h/(8π²c(2I(HBr)))
= 1/2 * ν(HBr)

Since the fundamental frequency of HBr is given as 4000 cm-1, the fundamental frequency of DBr is approximately:

ν(DBr) ≈ 1/2 * 4000 cm-1
= 2000 cm-1

However, the question asks for the 'corresponding values for DBr approximately,' so we need to choose the closest option. The closest option is (C), which has a rotational constant of 10 cm-1 (matching our calculation) and a fundamental frequency of 2828.8 cm-1, which is slightly lower than our calculated value of 2000 cm-1 but still the closest option. Therefore, the correct answer is (C).
