    Where Can I Find Spectral Data for Schwartz Reagent (NMR/MS/IR)?

    Schwartz reagent-- NMR/MS/IR Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some spectral data on Schwartz reagent (ZrCp2ClH); at the very least, I'd like to find a 1H NMR spectrum, but I would also like to see mass spec and IR spectra. I have had zero luck finding a paper that reports characterization data...

    Thermodynamics/Statistical Mechanics Probability Questions

    Homework Statement On this problem set, there are multiple questions regarding the probability of events: 1. Consider a box of volume V containing N molecules. Assume that the molecules in the box are free of all interactions, that is, that the equation of state is that of an ideal gas...

    Analyzing Emitter Follower Circuit Data: Is the Transistor Burned Out?

    Hi all, I was working with an emitter follower circuit similar to this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/NPN_emitter_follower.svg , the only difference being that in my circuit, there is a 100kΩ resistor between the Vin site and the transistor. RE is also 100kΩ. I...

    Troubleshooting NonlinearModelFit in Mathematica

    Hello, I'm working on this Mathematica assignment, just basic tutorial-type stuff (you can ignore the details about pyrene, not important), and the fit on this function won't converge. Someone in my class said it converged fine, so I was wondering if anyone notices any errors in my work...

    Quantum Mechanics Variational Method

    Okay, I found one error in my integration. The revised function is E = 1-(3/5)a / [a(a^2/7-1/15)]. Still has the same discontinuity problems, though.

    Calculate CO bond length from J=0 to J=1 transition

    I've tried both of those-- still orders of magnitude too large.

    Calculate CO bond length from J=0 to J=1 transition

    Homework Statement The J=0 to J=1 transition fro 12C16O carbon monoxide occurs at 1.153x105 MHz. Calculate the value of the bond length in CO. Homework Equations 2B = h/(4π2I) μ = m1*m2/(m1+m2) I = μr2 The Attempt at a Solution I = 6.61x10-34/ (4*π2*1.153x108) = 1.45x10-43...

    Schrodinger equation for potential drop

    ... really? I'm skeptical-- the problem asks for a proof.

    Schrodinger equation for potential drop

    Sorry, it lost the sub/superscripts. Here are the rewritten equations For x<0, ψ(x) = 1/√(k0)*(Arighteik0x+Alefte-ik0x) where k0 = √[2m(E+Vo)/hbar2] For x>0, ψ(x) = 1/√(k1)*(Brighteik1x+Blefte-ik1x) where k1 = √[2m(E)/hbar2]

    Schrodinger equation for potential drop

    Homework Statement Hello! I'm looking at a situation where there is a finite potential Vo for x<0, but zero potential for x>0. For a particle moving from left to right, I'm wondering what coefficients for the solution to the Schrodinger equation are equal to zero, and also how to prove that...

    QM- Stefan's constant vs radiation constant

    QM-- Stefan's constant vs radiation constant Homework Statement (a) Using Planck's formula for the energy density ρ(λ,T), prove that the total energy density is given by ρ(T)=aT4 where a = 8π5k4/(15h3c3). (b) Does this agree with the Stefan-Boltzmann law for the total emissive power? The...
