**Problem 24: Calculation of the β Parameter in the Morse Potential**

The problem states that the β parameter in the Morse potential is given by the equation:

\[
β = \sqrt{\frac{k}{2D}}
\]

You are required to calculate the value of β for HCl (hydrogen chloride), given that the values of \( k \) (force constant) and \( D \) (dissociation energy) are 479 N/m and 431 kJ/mol, respectively. For reference, note the following unit equivalents: \( 1 \, \text{N} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}^2\) and \( 1 \, \text{J} = 1 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \).

The options provided for the value of \( β \) (\( \text{m}^{-1} \)) are:
- A) \( 3.04 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{m}^{-1} \)
- B) \( 1.82 \times 10^{10} \, \text{m}^{-1} \)
- C) \( 0.745 \, \text{m}^{-1} \)
- D) \( 2.36 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}^{-1} \)
- E) \( 5.78 \times 10^{11} \, \text{m}^{-1} \)

This requires applying the provided formula to find the correct β value by substituting the given numerical values for \( k \) and \( D \). 

No graphs or diagrams are included in the question.
