IR Spectrum of HCl

Part I: Analysis of your breath

Method Take an IR spectrum of your breath.
Analysis Using an Organic or Physical chemistry text, or Dr Roche, identify the major peaks in the spectrum. What molecules/functional-groups can you identify? Anything illegal?

Part II: HCl Spectrum

Method Take a high-resolution rotationally-resolved IR spectrum of HCl.
Analysis Before the lab, pre-read Sec. 16.11 of the supplementary material (.pdf file) on analysis of vibration-rotation spectra
By analysing the IR spectrum of HCl (large 5 Mb .pdf file),
calculate the equilibrum bond-length and force-constant of HCl. Compare them with literature values (CRC handbook etc). .
