Question

distance between the centre of the carbon and oxygen atoms in the carbon monoxide gas molecule is 1.13 × 10^-10m.
locate the centre of the mass of the molecule relative to the carbon atom

Answer 1

Dear Student

Please find below the solution to asked query :-

Let x be the distance to center of the mass from oxygen to the atom so, the distance to the center of the mass from the oxygen atom

= $1.13 * 10^{-10}-x$

Here Mass of the carbon atom  $m_1 = 12$

and mass of the oxygen atom $m_2 = 16$

Now $m_1X = m_2(1.13*10^{-10}-x)</strong> <strong>$

finally:-

$X = 0.646*10^{-10}m$

Hope this would clear your doubt.

Regards
