In the HCl molecule, the separation between the nuclei of the two atoms is about `1.27 Å (1 Å = 10^(-10) m)`. Find the approximate location of the CM of the molecule, given that a chlorine atom is about 35.5 times as massive as a hydrogen atom and nearly all the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus.
