Question

he force constant for lh19F is 970 N/m. To a first approximation, DF (i.e. ?H19F, or an HF molecule in which the H atom is replaced with deuterium) also has the same force constant. (a) (2 points) Determine the zero point energies (ground state energies) of HF and DF in kJ/mol. (b) (2 points) At what frequencies (in cm-1) do you expect to see the fundamental vibrational transitions for (1) HF and (2) DF?
