Estimate the magnitude of the dipole moment of water


Estimate the magnitude of the dipole moment of water in Debye units, trating water as three point charges. Assume the O-H distance is 1.00 A, and the angle H-O-H is 104°. The charges of Hydrogens are +0.5e and Oxygen is -1.0e, where e = proton charge. Hint: you will have to use your trig to figure out the Cartesian locations of the atoms, and then use vector addition to compute the dipole.
