The fundamental (v = 0 ! v = 1) vibrational transition for H35Cl occurs at 2885 cm-1 . Close inspection of a high-resolution infrared spectrum of this transition shows the following absorptions (in cm-1 ) for the J ! (J-1) branch: 2865.10, 2843.62, 2821.56, 2798.94, 2775.76, 2752.04, 2727.78, 2703.01, and 2677.73. From these data, determine
a) the rotational-vibrational coupling constant, αe
b) the rotational constant, Be
c) the bond distance
