[P CHem] HCL/DCL r and p branch J value assignment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on assigning J values for the P and R branches of various HCl and DCl isotopes. The user expresses confusion about how to properly assign these values, noting that R branches can start at 0 while P branches begin at 1. They mention having conducted IR spectroscopy and identifying wave numbers, but struggle with the transition from these numbers to J values. The user also highlights the distinction in peak intensities related to isotopes and seeks clarification on the difference between J and J' values. Understanding these assignments is crucial for accurate interpretation of spectral data.

Homework Statement


Assign J values for P and R branches of H35cl, H37cl, d35cl, and d37cl compounds.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I have a fundamental IR spectra I did on and HCL/DCL compound. I'm extremely confused how to assign J values. I've been looking online and see R can be 0, 1, 2, 3, etc but P starts at 1,2,3, etc. How did they assign these values?

What I do know
I peaked picks so I know the wave numbers.
I can tell the P branch form the R because as the wave numbers get smaller they get more spread out.
I know the less intense peaks of the doublets are the H37CL or D37CL b/c it is a less common isotope and intensities are based on number of species.

I'm stuck here too! How do you go from wave numbers to j values. What's the difference between j and j'?
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
