Using Excel Solver: An Addendum to the HCl Infrared Spectrum Experiment
Mark Iannone
Millersville University, Department of Chemistry, Millersville, PA 17551
Cover
September 1998
Vol. 75 No. 9
p. 1188
Abstract
Solver, a flexible and convenient add-in provided with Excel, is useful for fitting of a nonlinear model to experimental data. Solver is introduced to physical chemistry students in the context of the analysis of the fundamental band of the infrared spectrum of gaseous HCl. All peak positions in the P and R branches are used to find least-squares values for the pure vibrational transition, the rotational constants in v = 0 and v = 1 states, and the centrifugal distortion constant.
