You'll need to look up the formula for the frequency generated by the air column, and then plug in the values to see. The formula happens to be in the BBoard postings, and if you search you'll find it. After all, it's your project, and you should be doing the research by consulting the many books on acoustics or perhaps looking up the wonderful site on clarinet acoustics in Australia (the site URL is also here in the BBoard postings, available by searching).

Also, you need to fix your email address you supplied, since it isn't valid. Without a valid email I have to remove your account.
