Using the rigid rotor model, calculate the energies in Joules of the first three rotational levels of HBr, using for its moment of inertia I = μR2, with μ = mHmX/(mH + mX) and equilibrium internuclear distance = 1.63 Å. To put these energies into units that make sense to us, convert energy to kJ/mol. (Simply estimate atomic masses from the average atomic weights of the elements given in the periodic table).
