Calculate the zero point energy and energy separation between vibrational energy levels for 1H35Cl molecule. The force constant for the H-Cl bond is kf = 516.3 Nm-1. Suppose a hydrogen atom is adsorbed on the surface of a gold nanoparticle by a bond of force constant 855 N m-1. Calculate the zero-point vibrational energy in kJ/ mol and electron volts (eV).

Calculate the zero-point vibrational energies of 1H35Cl and 2D35Cl in units of kJ mol-1, assuming that the molecules undergo simple harmonic oscillation and that the force constant of each bond is equal to 516 N m-1. (Answers: For 1H35Cl it's 17.9 kJ mol-1 and for 2D35Cl it's 12.8 kJ mol-1).

The force constant for the internuclear force in a hydrogen mole- cule $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\right)$ is $k^{\prime}=576 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$. A hydrogen atom has mass $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg} .$ Calculate the zero-point vibrational energy for $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ (that is, the vibrational energy the molecule has in the $n=0$ ground vibrational level). How does this energy compare in magnitude with the $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ bond energy of $-4.48 \mathrm{eV} ?$
The equilibrium separation of the $\mathrm{Rb}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions in $\mathrm{RbCl}$ is about $0.267 \mathrm{nm}$. (a) Calculate the potential energy of attraction of the ions, assuming them to be point charges. ( $b$ ) The ionization energy of rubidium is $4.18 \mathrm{eV},$ and the electron affinity of $\mathrm{Cl}$ is $3.62 \mathrm{eV}$. Find the dissociation energy, neglecting the energy of repulsion. (c) The measured dissociation energy is $4.37 \mathrm{eV}$. What is the energy due to repulsion of the ions?
