Exercise III on Calculating the Dipole Moment (μ): Solutions
Question: If the experimentally measured dipole moment for HCl (g) was 1.08 D, and the bond length was 1.27Å, calculate the magnitude of charge in (e) on the H and Cl atoms that would lead to this dipole moment value.
Solution:
Answer:
1.08 = (x × 1.6 × 10− 19 C) × (1.27 × 10− 10 m) × (1 D / 3.34 × 10− 30 C·m)
x = 0.178
